Distracting Myself..

Wow..this wait is really starting to wear on me.  I was so certain we would have some good news by now..some days I find it's hard to remain positive and hopeful..I know you are coming home to us sweet one it just seems like forever since we have had good news to hold on to.  I need to tuck you in and hold your hand.

In the meantime I have been occupying myself with a hobby that allows me to escape for awhile..I make stained glass panels.  My good friend Nic introduced me to this art and I've been hooked ever since.  My grandmother made many, many beautiful quilts during her life and I always admired that about her.  I am useless with fabric but glass feels comfortable to me.  So I carry on the tradition of working with patterns and piecing things together..I just use a different medium.

I love finding old Victorian patterns and reproducing them..

A little something I am working on now for a friend who loves birds..

My next project is a mystical dragon that my boys have been asking for to hang in their bedroom window...then..I have found a beautiful African Princess pattern for a little someone special...;)
