Finally... Witches Balls



At long last, I'm posting pics of the glass Witches Balls that I made. I ended up going to two workshops because the first time around, someone took some of mine, and the others didn't turn out the way I had hoped. So, I went last Friday and had to miss Eric's Graduate Studies Barbeque.

Super busy week!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts for my mother in law! They let her out of the hospital last Thursday and continues to do well. Still no idea how it all happened, but the good thing is that she's okay now.
Last weekend, my sister in law and her family came down to visit. While we were up visiting them last week, she was telling us that our eldest nephew (who is 8) was saying that "Uncle Eric NEEDS to take me to a football game." I was thinking it was too bad we didn't know that earlier because taking him to the Troy game would have been perfect and easier to get tickets for rather than finding tickets for a Big 10 game. Well, while I was thinking that, Eric was thinking, hey, I CAN take him to a football game if Aunt Moriah agrees to give up her ticket. Which is what I (somewhat) graciously did. And it ended up Eric found another ticket so his brother in law could go and I got to spend time with my sister in law and our three year old nephew. He's kind of going through a very whiney stage, and I know three is a tough age, but really, I'm afraid to have kids now!
The 8 year old wanted to leave the game after the 1st quarter! Once they bought him some nachos and a tshirt, he was happy to stay, so I guess they had a good time. After the game, we went to Dave and Buster's for dinner (on the 8 year old insistance) and we also played a ton of Wii.
I made caramel apples for them too. I ended up sending them home with them because we went out for ice cream and I didn't want to hype them up too much on sugar.

My glass workshop was cancelled, which worked out fine since we had guests, but I'm really hoping that this week's one isn't cancelled!
