Comments (30)I see, Homemaker. I actually am struggling with makeup and such because I need glasses these days. I was lucky to have my eyes for so long and am totally not used to this. Reading glasses weren't so bad, but now the long distance. Frustrating. Especially since I often forget to have the darned glasses on me, lol. It's a real pain not to be able to see or see what you're doing! And I thrive on all things visual. As far as I know, I don't have facial hair! Maybe I should check that out closer, lol. Don't think my Mom does, so I'm hoping I can escape that one. What a dreadful thought : / It's certainly a very interesting technique and kind of fun to watch. Wonder how anyone ever came up with that. And such amazing skill!...See Moreyou guys are just dangerous!!!...lol
Comments (10)no, I'm not interested in the classes, either. I just want to see what's available for the bits and pieces of glass, so I can piece together a GOG.... I have a number of windows that I've been guarding for a greenhouse and I think the time has come that I can safely say that it isn't going to happen. but the plants that I have, have wintered over for the past number of years, without croaking, so I guess I don't need the greenhouse as much as I need to mosaic..lol I have mostly hearty plants..hosta, geraniums, tree babies, grasses, lung wort, daylilies and others that don't seem to need protection. the windows are from sales and they just look like they want attention..lol I have glass cutters and have watched a number of the 'crafters coast to coast' and others on HGTV, so it's not completely foreign to me. and seeing all that's been posted here...I just gotta do it! I finally made a work area in the front room this weekend. I'd been putting it off and going bonkers, wanting to work on a vase. oh, and by the way...I got lots of circuit boards and old dead hard drives from a computer store and after all of that...I decided it would look just too junkie/techie for my liking. so now I have all the junk and don't want to glue it all on the monitor after all...lol I could decoupage it with crazy fabrics....that's much softer and less prickly...those danged boards kept sticking me, while I loaded them in the car! or really, I think I'll get a flat screen monitor and just give the boat anchor to someone else...I got it on freecycle, so it could go back there.. anyway...now that the little table is set up, I will be able to stack some milk crates up, to hold a lot of what is in boxes.... I've been working on a vase today and have it almost half cemented...it's a curved design, like the frying pan...no moss though..lol gotta get the momentum up for the vases... thanks for the encouragement..it makes my days much brighter.

Comments (5)ogoopogo - thanks for the tip on getting the gunk out of the carpet. I'll give it a try since if I can't get it out, I won't use it in there. Sigh. Red - the fireplace makeover made such a big difference! I sort of designed it on the fly, brought home a bunch of moldings and medallions and then had the poor carpenter guy try a bunch of different things. I'll post some pics of the fireplace for you. As for the dark boards on the floor, I just don't know. This bamboo is so hard that it breaks nails if you don't use the right ones with the right tools and I know they are already nailed together. I think to remove them would mean we would ruin a bunch of boards and then we might not have enough to do the rest of the house. But I'm going to ask. And I just looked at my list of what all we have done and I forgot we also had a stairway makeover (had no railing before) and 6 weeks of electrical work which also included moving/combing a bunch of switches which lead, of course, to a bunch of sheetrock work before the painting. Here's the versions of the fireplace. Before. The textured sheetrock surround gave this a contemporary look that just didn't work for me, especially since this room is going to be the new dining room with a bunch of our antique furniture. I tried painting it a couple of colors, including this green a couple down on the same paint strip, but still the design was contemporary. So this is what we came up with and I'm very happy....See MoreIdeas for fireplace makeover ?
Comments (2)I would sure like to know what is under all that paint and stuff. Could be some nice brick? If not then my thought is something right to the ceiling but no mantel....See MoreJamie
