More Painted Glass

It's official.  My painted glassware withstands wash and wear better than my kids' Hello Kitty Thermos cups.  Well, the paint/design withstands, obviously my wine glasses would break if you dropped them on the pavement after soccer practice.  Even washing by hand, I have noticed that Hello Kitty and Minnie Mouse are fading and chipping after just 2 months.  Grrrrrrrrrr.  

Anyway, back to painted glass.  By the way, these painted designs should last years if handled and washed properly.

Cozy Crochet

Virginia is a beautiful state, but there are quite a few weeks in the summer that are downright miserable.  When the heat index is 107 and the only creature stirring outside is a hungry mosquito, the last thing one would normally think about is wooly scarves!   Crocheting is actually quite accommodating for indoor, air-conditioned days when the kids are stuck inside reading, practicing their instruments, and ...well... watching way too much My Little Pony (friendship IS magic, by the way).

It was a very long, hot summer!

These scarves are in my Etsy shop.

Of course I had to make a "Rainbow Sash!"
