New Year, New Journey


As I start the new year have only six months until I can retire. And, I had to start working five days a week. They needed me in another area to train some folks, have to impart knowledge so I can go. How do people work five days a week? I don't have time to do any playing at all except for the weekend and that makes Jan a very unhappy girl. Not to mention the fact that the two days off go by light lightening. Not enough time for all the things I want to do. This weekend was my first and I felt like I was running all day to get all the things done that I wanted to do.


I got four new beads made. Not photos yet, they are still cooling. For now, I will share a slumped plated that I made for my mom. This will be her Mother's day present. I used a really pretty celery green swirly glass with four strips of lime green dichroic glass on top. After they were all fused together with a clear cap, they went back into the kiln to slump into a mold. I love the colors. I sure hope she does.
For those of you who work five days a week, I really feel for you, up to now I have worked a 4-10 shift with Wednesdays off so that I never worked more than two days in a row. I don't know how you do it really. One foot in front of the other I suppose.
