Life’s been amply busy during my hiatus, but I did make a few things.

I finally, finally, FINALLY finished my Herrschner’s Blueberry Bliss Afghan. (Shh! Don’t tell anyone because this one is about to become a little surprise for a friend in Australia.)

In an effort to get out and try something new, I tried glass fusing at Moltenworks Glass Studio. For my first effort, I’m pretty happy. I had a clouds-and-water vibe in mind, and I feel like I captured that. And it makes a great surface on which to arrange candles in my office.

I also discovered a really neat shop, Room to Craft, that offers many opportunities to come in and play with art. My first night I made this, and I’m looking forward to going back soon.
