A Nice Little Surprise!

I finished my diamond dot suncatcher.

Good old Art Glitter Glue was just the ticket for fixing the small portion of the design that became detached.

When I added the hanging chain to the finished suncatcher, I put one latch on backwards from the other. When I tried to remove it, a little piece of film came off the back. It looked like there was a protective film on the back. There was!

What a difference it made to remove it!

I wondered if my tree of life had one, too. It was fairly dull on the back. I got it out of the window.

Sure enough! Again, what a difference removing it made!

I’ll have to check the one I did at the beach!

Ta Done!!!

Well, almost. I need to seal it, then I can hang it! Look how translucent and stain-glassy it is!

Earlier, today, I watched Christi Friesen begin creating a beaded background for a couple of sea horses she had sculpted.

Even earlier, I went to church. It wasn’t creative, just heartwarming. I spotted a dear cousin, and sat with him. We were talking, and a voice beside me said, “What are you doing sitting up here near the front?” as she slid in beside me.

“I’m sitting with my cousin,” I replied, “and now I’m sitting with my oldest friend!” It was a great blessing.

So was the birth of my daughter, 50 years ago, today!

Setting drills on the porch!

No, I’m not doing construction! I have learned that the dots of Diamond Dotz fame are actually called, “drills!“

I have no ideal why, unless they drill them out of plastic.

Laura and I had another Facetime create date, yesterday, and because it’s still pretty on the porch, I’m working out here, again, today.

Speaking of drilling, I just heard a woodpecker! Here’s one that flew into a friend’s window.

Luckily it was just stunned. Woodpeckers have shock absorbers in their heads!

So here’s what I’m still pecking at:

One more session and I should be ready to seal and hang it!

Meanwhile, here’s my view on the porch, again, today!

Happy Birthday, Laura Sheaffer!
