This is Kate's first project. An exquisite portrait of her first horse, Pooh. She did an outstanding job, capturing the details of the horse's expression. Also, she managed to recreate the precise details of the bridle and reins. The picture really doesn't do this one justice at all. It is BEAUTIFUL!!

Nicely done, Kate!!

Lanie Grace, the Youngest Stained Glass Student

Lanie Grace has been attending Stained Glass Classes with her mother for a little over nine months now . . .












Nowadays, she comes to class sometimes, just to hang out . . . and have a little chat with the instructor . . .






If I'm lucky, I get to give her a bottle and burp her while the class works!! She is a wonderful little girl, and we love having her come by for a visit. Gotta start 'em out young!!

Hazzard at Friday Dog Training

This photo is from our Friday Dog Training class . . .

Left to right - Front Row: Hazzard (Pit Bull), Abe (Cocker Spaniel), Zippy (Papillon)

Back row: Sparky (Miniature Pinscher), Peggy Lee (Australian Shepherd), Callie (Aussie), Hombre (Aussie), Dibley (Dalmatian)

What you can't tell by looking at this photo is that Hazzard was feared by his owner, Brenda, to be "dog aggressive". She was absolutely astounded that he so easily adapted to being around other dogs. We walked him with my band of Aussies, and posed for this picture afterward. Life is good!!

Brenda's First Leaded Panel

Brenda is making three panels, one for each of the big bay windows in her kitchen. She has finished the center panel! It looks FANTASTIC!!





















I just had to throw in the next photo. It captures the essence of Brenda's personality. She is delightful, beautiful and funny. What a great time we have on Mondays!!




















Here's a photo of Brenda with Hombre, me and Carol.




You can't tell that we have a good time together!!
