While Laura and I had a long overdue create date on Face Time, today, I sealed my Tree of Life!

We also laughed till we cried, at least I did, anyway! We have a good time.

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!
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!
