Happy Birthday

It is hard to believe that 4 years ago today was the most insane crazy day of my life. My beautiful, charming, fun-loving little man made his exciting and dramatic debut into this world. Four years. Wow. Time is moving at warp speed. I wish I could just push the pause button. If only just for a little bit.

You make my life complete. I love your silliness, your dreamy eyes, your sinister laugh, your devilish grin, your sweet kisses, your tender hugs, your thoughtful conversations, your crazy antics, your loving heart. I love you - everything about you.

Happy birthday my beautiful boy!

Let's go crazy and build a house and move in the middle of a pandemic while the world is on fire and supply chain issues abound. Sounds like fun.

Eclipse Glassworks Color Testing

#0177 Rose Pink Personally, I would rename this color to bubblegum or cotton candy because it is YUMMY! I'll be honest, I started with this glass because it seemed the most unassuming of the sample packets I received. Boy was I surprised when it came out the most scrumptious bubblegum pink after being worked in the flame. Working Notes Opacity : This is an opaque glass. When applied heavily over clear, it does not allow too much light to pass through. However, when applied thin - especially over a dark base color, it is semi-translucent and shows the base color. This could also be attributed to the spreading nature. Spread : As with most pink glass I've worked, I would classify this as a spreader. When heated it spread out over the base color. It also attempted to seep out of the encasement layer if I gave it even the slightest opening. Futz Factor : Opaque pink glass will often devitrify if exposed to repeated heating and cooling. This is handled easily by e
