Oh my .. I hate how Marthas daughter talked about how trying to have a baby is a chore ... ARE YOU SERIOUS, ugh! To me a chore is like washing dishes and doing laundry, how dare she say IVF is a chore. Oh goodness, she has me so upset I think it is bringing on a hot flash ... AHHH! This is what I look like, seriously, LOL!

Oprah still owes DH and me lunch (a joke we have every time we used to pass that tall tower she lives in!). Didn't get to see the show, but I can't stand the woman. She does have that better than thou attitude.

Brenna- for doubling tomorrow! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Martie- for doubling tomorrow!

Alana-doing any better, hun? You got to get into the Dr. to get checked out.

Tia- for ET on Thursday!!! Yes, recipes are great!

Heidi-can I come to Hawaii w/ you too?

Ronni-get 2nd, 3rd, and as many opinions as you can get. Then come visit me in Colorado!!!

Shawna-I can't find blue/yellow glass. I can make something non-dichroic. Until then, just pick something out of what I post.

Devan-I think I am having hot flashes too. I was so hot at work today and everyone else said they were cold. Weird.

Rachael- I got your necklace ready to go out tomorrow.

Everyone else, you must pick from the following (I will post in a new post). I got better pictures today. I will explain in a minute.

Thank you girls for all of the b-day wishes. I just know tomorrow's #s will be great!! Than I will be dying for my u/s to see how many!

Tia, yeah for Thusday!!

Susan, i hope your puppy is okay.

Rachel, I am glad it passed quickly, and less sweets is not always a bad thing. I know i have been pleasantly surprised at my lack of appetite lately. Maybe I will not gain so much this time....... .......I gained 45lbs with each of my kids.

Shelly good luck tomorrow.

Okay Girls...you gotta pick.

The charms with the silver bail on them are ready to go. I will make the necklaces. You can always put the charms on whatever necklace you want, but you will get it on something from me

The charms that don't have silver bails need to be ground and refired. You can see sharp edges and stuff now, but they will look nice and clean when I am done. I will probably have those back Thurs, Fri, or Sat. There are 2 that look 'funny' cause the clear glass coating slipped off. I have cut the majority of the clear off, but the rest has to be ground. They will be cool charms. The purple one will have a cool 3-D thing going. I will shape them nicely.

I have grouped them into color groups. Please pick soon so I can make them and send them out!!!

Here are the color groups. I will post the mutli colored ones in the next post cause I ran outta room!

And the multi's... The last photo is the one with the funky clear glass slipping off during the firing (the dichroic pieces on top are funny textured and didn't hold the clear flat. I think they still look cool.

Shelly-your piece is being fired today or tomorrow.

Jen you totally rock, those are too cute. If I could take a pick I'd like the one that is on the second posting the 2nd row, first charm (with the squares in it). Too cute and it would be great for the fall and winter. I'll PM my address. Oh and I'm trying to find something "outside the box" to pick up as a habits so I can share too. BTW- do you have this equipment at your house or do you go somewhere to fire them and stuff. I seen the things you sent to Katrina for SS and the ladybug is adorable.
Ladybugs are my IF good luck charm, I've got one on my foot ... hoping it works in Nov/Dec. Thanks so much!

Green

The glass behind the dichroic is green here, although there is some green in the dichroic too.

light purple

Are you sick of me yet These are the light purple group. I believe there is a clear piece in here, but it has beautiful reflective dichroic in it. I think it is actually the same dichroic as the 'fire' pieces, except those have dark backgrounds, this has clear glass background.

Yep, it is the bottom left with the bail on it.
