Luckygal, I have been saving toilet shards for a while now, they were smashed up with a sledge hammer!!! I have about 2 five gallon bucks full right now so I will have to go get some more...our city just had a big toilet upgrade rebate, buy a new low flush and get $50 rebate, and the place I was working at was the recycle depot in town,so that's where I get the smashed toilets(they are destined to be recycled into aggragate for paving....)Here's my Throne, it is 4ftw x 6ft tall.(That big blue ashtray is just like someones ashtray here used for a totem....) Here is a link that might be useful:

ttennis...I think my posting earlier must have went to cyberspace! I remember thinking what an awesome combination of wrought iron and glass! I love it! As others said, the door entry and cup feeder...just fits perfectly! Your gardens are looking wonderful & can see how the hard work you've done! The little "blue birds" glass totem is so charming! Worth every $! TFS your pics...beautiful place & nice recycle on the sale sign! Jeanne S.

wheelman, I'm just across the pond from you in Wisconsin. I live about 4 miles west of Lake Michigan just north of Milwaukee. The lake does indeed keep me warmer in the winter. I only fall to about -10 or so each winter, while just west of me they see some nights of -20 to -25. I've had palms in the ground since 2008... and that oldest one is still alive today! Here is a picture of it from early last week. That trachy was planted as a tiny 3 gallon in July, 2008. I protect it with a double poly box (air space in between). Over that I have a 1 1/2 inch layer of styrofoam and inside is a space heater set at 40F. Works great! I usually leave the foam off the south side unless we're expecting below zero weather. Sun free heats it during the day and the palm gets light. Bonus! I put the boxes on when lows start getting below 20, so about Thanksgiving or so and they come off in mid to late March. 20F doesn't phase trachys at all, as long as it gets above freezing during the day. Here is a picture from last winter. And here's a picture of the yard from last week.

This is as done as it's going to be for a couple of months. lol FuzzBall (because that's what she was as a kitten) approved it and then allowed a picture without her.

Thanks everyone :-)

The round thingie is a Dreamcatcher that I made for my son, the square thingie is a candle shelter, and the glass piece is a design I came up with last night while playing with some bevels I found while cleaning up my studio. It was a cool experience because that's the first stained glass I ever created "freehand" with absolutely no pattern, just cutting and fitting as I went along. I like the way it turned out :-)

Hubbie surprised me tonight by mentioning that he'd like to build me another workbench, dedicated to creating mosaics! He's been so sweet and supportive about my whole glass adventure :-) He asked all sorts of questions about surfaces, table height, built in containers to hold the glass I'm working with, etc. and I don't have enough experience to answer him sooooooooo ladies I'm gonna start another thread asking about your dream work tables - please share your ideas with me!!
