Look who came back for a visit!

18 years ago

These are pcs I've done over the yrs for DD. Sorry, the window is blurry, do not adjust your eyeballs! The butterfly was one of the first things I ever did, I , being an enthusiastic newbie, ran out and bout a pinky red glass that was $40/sqft!! Just a small pc, but still hoard some of it away, and whenever I run across it I feel so indulgent!!heh! Just thaought I'd share some weird and wonderous stuff that came home to be stored here while DD figures out what she wants to do with herself! Jane's free storage unit! Or am I grandma, like with my grandpuppy I'm stuck raising?lol!! (Another move) Did I mention my place now looks like a jungle too?! With DD's plants, offshoots of mom's, it's a little crazy here!!!

    I know that pink glass ! *snicker* I fell in love with it . Here it was $60 sq.ft !!! I bought a 2' x 3' piece .
    I hate to use it - I hoard every inch of it . LOL
    Don't you love looking at your "beginner projects" ?

    I cant say I have to many beginner projects around cause I ended up giving mine all away as presents. I have a few that I still love to look at though..my first bench (small foot stool) and my rocks I mosaiced. All your stuff is so great. I love the butterfly and the dragonfly and the GOG its just beautiful!!!

    She hasn't asked yet to move back, she would rather "couch surf"???!!! She is 24 and I have to stop rescuing her and let her have the right to take control of her life, I try to help, but she just hears nagging and criticism, so I am trying to back off. DH hates clutter and so is not happy. I have been bailing her out financially and now that I don't work it is dipping into my "shopping" money!!!! I know I sound selfish but nobody helped me EVER and I got on with life sooo...Thanks Everyone for letting me vent and if you have any suggestions, they are welcome, you could email me, so we don't waste forum space...

    Beautiful work Calamity_j!

    You have my sympathy with your daughter :::huggles::: I have five daughters, four of which are grown. It's so hard to find that balance between helping and hindering ... I'm still working on it myself. You'd think with only two left at home, teenagers, that I'd be approaching the expert level ~ lol ~ not me! I just keep bumbling along. Best of luck hon and clue me in if you figure out that fine line of balance, k?

    Well, I ain't got no youngins so I can't offer advice with that, but DANG you've got some cool stuff there. I really like the flutter by!!

    Well, Janey, at least she brings the goods back. some would discard of them and come home empty handed. I love them and glad they have a nice home.

    No advise on the boomerang thing. It's a a very fine line. My friend threatened her kids since teenagers that she was selling the home and buying a condo that didn't have room for them. So maybe time to down size? : \

    I loved that GOG when it was WIP. The bugs are beautiful too.

    Bailing prolongs the sinking boat problem... if the boat stays afloat, they'll never take up swimming!
