Yippee! I have cuts again!

19 years ago

Felt good to cut some glass today!!

Went to some garage sales with DH....and because in about 1000 years I may run out of projects, I bought a couple more LOL

This just SCREAMED mosaic me!!DH said "go ahead, put it in the storage unit until you're ready for it." The storage unit is already piled over my head!! But I bought it anyway :-)

Later, this said Me TOO!!!

I cut a piece of mirror for it

And found this cool plate

Slow, you have me looking at jewelry at garage sales too!! Saw some cool flower pieces, but they wanted too much. Did get a couple little things to use, though

    OHMYGOODNESS, SHRTY!!!!! That table is to die for. I can see that thing mosaiced, and LOOK at all those wide, flat surfaces and SCALLOPS - WOW. Another mosaicing DREAM piece. Oh, and you couldn't help yourself and cut the mirror right off for the little shelf. Way to go, girlie. That'll be darling when mosaiced. Great plate, and w/a grinder, the feet could come off and it could be a focal piece in a great mosaic. Way to go on buying old jewelry - it really adds to mosaics.

    Cool stuff .You sound like me .Some times I feel giuty for buying so much stuff but always find somthing better than the last time.I say I am going to stop .O but I can't.I am so glad I am not the only one.

    yup - sounds like ME, too! SHRTY, I also love the "1000 years I may run out of projects" statement - can totally identify with that!!!!

    Just can't stop collecting. I find myself being a lot more selective, but still.....I definitely get carried away. But it's so cool to go to my shelves, pick out some plates with a pattern, then keep looking through the shelves to get coordinating solid colors - and be able to find everything I need right there!

    Great finds!! Congratulations on the cuts. :)

    Jane- DH comes "sailing" with me when he's home. Usually he works, so it's not very often. He's pretty good when he does!!

    Thanks Slow,that table was screaming at me LOL.

    toomuch,nanatricia,lyndalu- half the obsession is collecting the stuuf!!

    I love your stuff Maria...great finds and it was nice that you got to spend time with Dave, so what area were you GS'ing in? It has been so hot that I haven't been out to any sales lately. I am always checking out small tables and shelves though for future TBM projects.
    My DD & DS like to GS with me and as a game they walk through in front of me and tell each other the stuff they think I will be interested in and pick up. They almost sound disappointed though when I don't pick something they think I would have been interested in! LOL I tell them that I have trained them well enough that they could go to GS and I could stay home and mosaic!!!

    When are you going to start your wall?

    Ohh! I love that plate. It goes with my kitchen and dining room theme. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
    Great stuff! I know what you mean about all the projects.
    I can hardly get around in my room anymore, there's just too much waiting to be finished, and even more waiting to be started!

    Barb - we went here in Ypsi. There was a church sale. We thought it started on Fri, but Noooooooo. So we sent to a couple sales on the way back. Then went to the church Sat(I found the big shelf thingy there). We didn't go to a whole bunch because it was so hot!!

    Some of the glass I cut will be for the wall. I want to get the backer board cut to size tomorrow and cut some more glass!!

    Hazie.. I thought of you when I picked up that plate! LOL Reminded me of the frying pan you did!
