Time to take a break, have some supper and then to bed...

I'm so pleased with what I accomplished this aft.

Wanted to make Suzanne a stained glass lamp and thought after seeing all of Jeannine's quilts to perhaps make one with a quilted type theme....but better still, using left over glass..don't worry Gita lol I've boxes and boxes...might even make me one...

With it being straight lines, it cut up really easy...here's 2 panels put together to give you an idea how the pattern will join..all together I cut glass for the 6 panel I need to make the lampshade.makes a substantial size lamp shade...

I'm done in though so off I go..must look outside..came in downstairs this aft. haven't been upstairs so have no idea is the snow has stopped or is still brewing..know for sure though it's not sunshine out there..giggle/giggle...

Shar..mine stays right on the ground (leaves that is) later I'll go looking for photo....

Gita..we don't do the polar bear but we do a 'puddle jump' local organizations make an area I'd say about 30 ft. wide by maybe 1,000 ft. and individuals on snowmobiles take a run at the open water hoping their machine is strong enough to make it to the other end..local fire depts and police are on hand to get them out of the drink safely and their machines of course when they don't quite make it...last one wins the pot...thousands/thousands of people come to this event...it's mighty cold watching but fun..

This year the quality of ice won't allow for it..must see if I have pictures or tape of it happening...Roger of course was an avid fan of snowmobile..started the are snowmobile club but thank goodness he never got into that part of it..mainly because he'd never want to put his machine through a possible sinking...

Before I go, see what a mess I can do in about 4 hrs...
