    one room's light switch and outlet covers!

    ummmmm ..... bathroom cabinet where you keep your female stuff ... just the one drawer or door ... to mark it as YOURS.

    a design on the middle of the closet door ... underneath where your bathrobe hangs. hardly visible at all! (only when you're wearing the robe)

    do you have shelves in the laundry area? mosaic the front of the shelves if they're wooden.

    mosaic the dog bowl!

    The vacuum cleaner? The oven door? Microwave? Your coffee cup? The cat?(click clack click clack)...

    The edge of the new big screen plasma TV you're gonna buy him.

  • 18 years ago

    The remote control for the big new plasma tv you bought him!

    An old lamp base, a photo frame, computer monitor edge?;)

  • 18 years ago

    Telephone or lamp by your side of the bed.

    One arm or leg of DH - if he's lazy.

    I warn my son that if he sits too long in one place he's in danger of being glued and grouted!

    A waste basket?

    too bad you added that last little "disclaimer" ( wouldn't anger DH)

    I was thinking a lamp too....maybe for one of your DD's
    room's, but then you need to make 2.

    A tissue box holder??

  • 18 years ago

    yeah that angering Dh thing is pertinent. I'm thinking something that I can hide. LOl

    Lamp, none in the girls rooms, none in storage.
    Can't keep mine on my stand cause the dang cat knocks it off, he thinks my night stand is his bed when he loses the fight for my pillow.

    electronics of any kind would be a sin in his eyes

    don't own a tissue box or any hard surface trash cans (but I'll put those on my list for thrifting)

    so I opted to attempt a GOG with a small cognac glass, did 2 sides and got bored.

    I guess I'm not in the mood... it's just that let down thing at the end of a project... do and I don't or maybe I just don't want to do a meaningless project...

    Going through the same thing, NT, right now. Got the exchange gift and two more things ready to grout. Because it's so warm outside today, I have the wet saw set up and have been cutting plates all day. Have NOT O.N.E. clue how to use all these wonderful colored plate shards. I don't EVER remember being this un-inspired. Just don't know what to do next. Not even in the mood to work on Lally. Put a few pieces on a little teensy wall plaque yesterday, thinking it'd get me back in the mood, but NOT. So, I'll continue to cut plates today cuz it's bound to get winter here soon, and too cold to work outside w/water going everywhere from the saw. I DO love my wet saw. Cuts those plates lickety split.

    Good thread NT. And I agree with you. Gluing for the sake of gluing, doesn't have quite the impact for me as doing something that has a specific purpose or is for a specific person, or you have a fairly good idea of what you want to see in the end. But I also know that sometimes you just need a fix!!

    And good ideas guys! My list gets longer and longer....

  • 18 years ago

    The remote control for the big new plasma tv you bought him!

    Did you say Big Remote for Big Plasma? How about one of these! {{!gwi}}

  • 18 years ago

    I'm having just the opposite problem. I'm dying to start something, and I'm sitting around waiting for glass orders to come in. The mail is just too darn slow!
    I bet my mail man thinks I have a thing for him!haha
    I'm always watching out the window for him, and running out to greet him!
    So I've done stupid little things while I wait.......like this little watering can for my grinder water. Just trying to pass the time!

    Well.. that IS DARLING, Hazie! I love the combination of tiles, glass gobs and the rocks.... AND your creamy colored grout. NICE!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Well, now HAZIE is on some kind of "go pills". Lordy, child, you're on a roll. That's darlin'. I LOVE your new style.

  • 18 years ago

    Hazie, I'm loving this beige and tans thing you have going on! very pretty

    Here's my 1st half hearted attempt at a gog

    {{!gwi}}

    then plans changed for the evening and it turned out to be just me and little DD (6)

    so we made salt dough. Do you think it's a function of being right handed that all my animals are walking to the right? seriously I couldn't make one going left, wierd huh?

    DD made the zebra head in the middle then she had me trace her hand. It's hard to play with kids sometimes cause they get frustrated that mommy can make things.... I just keep saying Mommy has 40 years of practise and they'll catch up one day! lol

    {{!gwi}}

  • 18 years ago

    NT, another object to grout is a soap dispenser. I like your cognac glass!

    Hazie, your watering can looks great.

  • 18 years ago

    I knew that was a zebra head!!
    I finished a GOG today too.. well I still have to grout.
    I don't know, maybe it's the cooler weather, but I'm slowing down too. Hard to keep turning out one a week.

  • 18 years ago

    really? I saw a brontosaurus

    I think I gave my giraffe too big an ear, he looks donkeyish

  • 18 years ago

    LOL I sort of felt this way when I was doing the little dresser. Sort of mindless gluing to be gluing. The glass is perfect for the dresser and shelf and there was enough and it must have been meant to be. I am still not thrilled to have done it. It is done and I will get pictures in the morning. Not enough light tonight.

    Hazie GREAT water can. What a good idea. I have a water can with a long spout I was not knowing what to do with it, NOW I know!!!

    NT The animals are cute and I really like your gog.

    I cracked up on the mosaic the edge of the flat screen TV. OMG my husband would have a fit. Heheheh

    I have so many TBM projects I would like to do I am feeling frustrated for lack of time.. I will now get back to working on my other little dresser. I am much more excited about it than the jelly bean dresser. Heheheh

    THAT REMOTE IS SOOO PERFECT!!! I want one!!! Won't loose it so easy in the couch cushions, can see the button I want to press, plus it can be micro mosaiced!!!
    Hazie: LUV that watering can! You go You Designer Girl!!!
    Nice: Got to see Klingers greenman face and leaves that she made outta clay, cool! I like your animals, did you cut them out freehand or a cookie cutter thing? LUV your DD's hand! Perfect! And I hope you finish that goblet cuz it is adorable! Will look nice with a tealight in it! Even if it doesn't get grouted! That would sure curl your cat's whiskers! (Literally!)lol!

  • 18 years ago

    Nice.......Love the cognac glass, like calamity said, it would be perfect for a tea light!

    Tonight was supposed to be mine and DD's mosaic night again,
    and she had a friend over with boyfriend problems, so I played alone...still waiting for my orders. I scared the crap out of the mailman today!..I saw him and came running
    from the garage.....he's not use to me coming from there!!ahhahaha. There was nothing but bills again today! I figure
    monday through friday there should be a glass surprise everyday for me! I'm planning on it! there are 5 orders, and I plan next week to be Christmas for me! My poor mailman
    may have to file charges against me by then!!haha

    Hazie

  • 18 years ago

    HAZIE!!! You Are Shameless! But I bet that Mailman has trouble walking thru doorways as his head is so big now!lol!

  • 18 years ago

    the question is... is he cute? lol

  • 18 years ago

    well I think I actualy like this... for something not really thought out and not much effort put toward, it looks really pretty with a candle in it

    {{!gwi}}

  • 18 years ago

    I LOVE IT!!! I really like the seedbead in the grout!!! CUTE! Oh Man, am I in Mosaic Withdrawl!!!

  • 18 years ago

    yeah those seed beads look like little cobblestones!

    ya know, I can't help but think these little buggers could be big sellers at craft fairs. nothing fancy, slap on geometric shapes - add those flickering battery op tea lights and really draw people to your booth!

  • 18 years ago

    That turned out great nice!

    My mailman is a cute old guy, I guess. No one I'd chase down the street without the hopes of a package for me though!

    Hazie

  • 18 years ago

    That turned out GREAT, Nice!!! I think you're right about being a good item to sell, too. Very cute!

    An over the kitchen sink shelf that will keep my things out of the way. ~: )

  • 18 years ago

    hey Helen, that is creative! did you make the shelf too?

  • 18 years ago

    I think I missed posting on your candle thingy, NT. It's lovely - now SEE - you can't do ANYTHING wrong. I'm SURE it looks even prettier w/a candle. Hey, nice idea, HRSG. Quite nice.
