Today started off as one of those days where I just shouldn't have gotten out of bed, but by this afternoon it was looking up. Sat down with a bowl of Tom Kha Gai and a piece of paper at lunch and did some brainstorming as to what exactly I will make for the upcoming show. I feel much better about that having established a somewhat realistic plan of attack; it was kind of freaking me out last night, which did not help my mood or my productivity. A meeting in the afternoon turned into a fabulous chat with coworker moms about kids and families (ow my ovaries) and tangentially related subjects. And then I decided to put up some pictures of my stained glass, since Teh Cubicle is pretty dreary and impersonal at the moment, and looking over these also made me feel better about the show.

( Plan of Attack, for my reference... )

Right. So: perogies (mmmmm, perogies) followed by the Bat-Cave!

Well, that went reasonably. Two penrose tiling suncatchers cut out and part of a leaf box (discovered that I no longer have the pattern for the moon box - to remake tomorrow at lunch). Stupidly forgot the candleholder pattern at home. Soldered the christmas tree but was overzealous about it and ended up with a fucking heat crack - a teeny tiny barely visible one, but nonetheless it's there. Dammit. Note to self: LEAVE THE CENTRE SEAM ROUGH at first next time and let it cool down before messing with it!!!

Anybody interested in a very slightly flawed free christmas/yule decoration?

So, added to my to do list tomorrow:
* finish cutting out leaf box (bring scissors to cut pattern)
* cut out candleholders (I thought I had gluchip but turns out not...I will use that beautiful blue-purple crinkly art glass instead with a clear border)
* grinding as before

Shopping list for the weekend:
* green streaky glass to redo the damn tree
* 1/2 square foot of each white and dark blue wispy for the moon box
* gluchip
* bevels: little diamonds, big diamonds, medium gluchip squares
* jewels
* beads for trees
