I do stained glass work too! I've never done the beads, though. Copper foil and leaded glass and fused glass. The fused glass is really cool, but I've only had a few one-night classes in doing it.

We don't have the tools to do the stained glass stuff at the moment, but i did quite a bit in high school. Enough that my teacher cut me off from even going into the glass area. However, i did get one of my roommates interested, and he's been looking at getting the goodies to do the copper foil variety, since it's the easiest to deal with. If he does get the stuff i'll be in hog heaven.

i actually just learned how to do the beads yesterday and sat there making the suckers for a couple of hours straight. Since i'm just a beginner it took me a while, but the three i did turned out at least decently. One even has little flowers on it.

1. You expect the people that serve you fast food to screw up your order -- you do not expect the same from bank tellers regarding funds transfers.

2. "When it rains, it pours" is probably the most valid cliche in existence.

3. Family members requiring emergency surgery will always do so on a day when you think that everything is going fantastically.

4. When you have a day that is going fantastically, you should leave the house immediately and turn off the answering machine so that you can actually enjoy it.

6. When going to the hospital, always make sure to grab change ahead of time, for the soda machine.

7. If you must eat dinner past 8pm, make sure it isn't something spicy.

8. Babies that have spicy food late in the evening tend to stay awake, kicking mommy, through the night.

9. Saying that you don't want anymore drama for a while is like painting a big bullseye on your forehead.

10. The SO cannot come home early from work without the whole world deciding to go ape shit, that day.
