Having missed a couple of weeks of our stained glass window course, for one reason or another, we finally got there last night. Hubby was already ahead of me, as I seemed to spend longer than he did on finalizing my design. I don’t know why really, because his and my design were essentially copied from patterns, we just made a few changed to make things slightly easier for us as beginners. Our teacher likes hubby’s design, but keeps frowning at mine, I think she thinks its a little complicated for a first effort. “Oh well, never do anything by halfs” that’s what I say. Although now I have started to cut the glass she seems to have lightened up a little.

Last night was the first time I had cut my pretty, (aka quite expensive) glass and I was quite nervous. Piece no. 25 took three attempts. Not because I was inaccurate, but because of the nature of the glass with its rippled effect, it took the break the wrong way. I was running out of that type of glass when I finally got it right.

I know there is somebody in particular who will laugh out loud and probably clap her hands together in glee when she sees hubby’s design.

Its certainly tickled our teacher and other members of the group.

I wonder what the allotment holders will say when it becomes part of the greenhouse!
