She works with glass like me! Honestly, I can appreciate when another glass artist makes something beautiful, but it is hard for me to buy or trade for a glass. Lonnie is one of those artisans that I can not only appreciate her pieces, but I needed to own! She has created a niche and makes beautiful millefiori glass pieces!<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23146210"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;" id="fullimage_link1"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23146210" target="_blank"><img style="width: 282px; height: 281px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com//il_430xN.64344478.jpg" alt="Millefiori Fused Glass Pendant Floral Sea Inlet" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Next, I'd like to show you <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/innerearthsoaps">Inner Earth Soaps!</a> All her soaps are all mild and highly moisturising, made with skin-loving oils and have a creamy, bubbly lather. My son suffers from eczema especially in the winter months and she was very helpful in choosing a soap that will help keep his skin healthy. Also, her soaps just LOOK amazing!<br /><br /> <div style="text-align: center;" id="item-main"> <div id="fullimage_link1"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36849853" target="_blank"><img style="width: 305px; height: 281px;" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com//il_430xN.110386652.jpg" alt="6 Handmade Cold Process Soaps - you choose the scents" /></a></div></div><br />And last, but not least is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/limegreenmodern">lime green modern</a>! I absolutely LOVE the simple lines of her pieces! When it comes to jewelry, particularly earrings, I tend to stick tot he more-is-less approach. I love the sleek look of these earrings with just a pop of color! You could have one in every color and be set for any outfit!<br /> <div style="text-align: center;" id="item-main"> <div id="fullimage_link1"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33583690" target="_blank"><img style="width: 269px; height: 269px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com//il_430xN.99364318.jpg" alt="modern silver earrings- aqua-blue glass trio" /></a></div></div><br />Please follow our blog ring around!

I went in to work early to do the books, then headed to my hair stylist's salon. She did some color because my roots were VERY grown out. She's been doing my hair for years, but only now just realized how quickly my hair actually grows! After doing the color, I picked up the kids and Mark to bring them to the salon also. We ALL got our hair trimmed! We wanted to get us all looking nice for the holidays and I think we may try to get a family portrait taken (no pics of our hair until the reveal in our portrait!).<br /><br />When I got home I was greeted by a few packages. Now, there are some things I am expecting, but this wasn't one of them. It was my first package from an Art Exchange I participated in. It was like a crafty chain letter of sorts. "Make one piece and send it to #1, then remove that name and bump the names up and add yours to the bottom of the list" type thing. I kinda forgot about it until I opened that package yesterday. I got 2 cute flower/ribbon clips for hair, clipping on purses, collars, etc! They're adorable! I like the smaller flower one for me, but I think the pink and brown ribbon one has been claimed by my daughter.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2659/4180471549_c6c77dd6de.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2659/4180471549_c6c77dd6de.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />(This is her angry face. She was not pleased that I wouldn't get her some chocolate milk until I took a picture.)<br /><br /><br />After taking that picture, my 5 year old son NEEDED his picture taken too. Here he is after dragging himself into the kitchen. He claimed that this was a picture of him 'starving'.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2611/4181233718_156f2a7e00.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2611/4181233718_156f2a7e00.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />After they both got chocolate milk, we tried to put lights on our tree. Daddy and I got them all strung only to realize that the only strand we DIDN'T check was the strand on our tree and the strand that didn't light. We ended up eating dinner (homemade lasagna! Mmmmmm!!!) and giving it another try. We got the lights up and the kids had a blast helping hang ornaments.<br /><br />All in all- a good day!

Today's question-</span><br /><br />What are your favorite colors to work with? Is it hard to work outside of your favorites?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">I tend to use black a lot. Dichroic glass comes with black and clear glass as a base, so that makes it an easy choice. I also like earth tones. I tend to chose a cream color over a pure white. I pull patterns and designs from nature, so that lends itself easy to those kinds of colors as well. I do find it kind of hard to work outside my favorites. I usually just try to create a picture or idea that may have popped into my head and I struggle to find inspiration if I have a project that has a color palette outside of my norms.<br /><br /></span></strong>Head on over to Diva Dea to see what her favorite colors to use are:<br /><div>Diva Dea ( <a href="http://divadea.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://divadea.blogspot.com</a> )</div>Danielle from Beautiful Schlopp Glasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05459676951945806180noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499581277940036453.post-54319000096332108682009-12-09T18:41:00.002-06:002009-12-09T18:51:55.661-06:00Let It Snow!

Mark got the opportunity to have a friend who is a music producer from Detroit come down here for 3 days to record his band's record. So, Mark, his 2 bandmates, and Bill Kozy are at my house recording and making loud music into the early hours of the morning while the kids and I are staying with my mom. Ugh. It's a huge inconvenience, but hopefully worth it in the long run. So, forgive me if I miss tomorrow. I'll be back at the blog-a-long soon enough!Danielle from Beautiful Schlopp Glasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05459676951945806180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499581277940036453.post-16092240513464075712009-12-04T22:34:00.003-06:002009-12-04T23:08:58.102-06:00Advent Blog-a-long Day 4- Today Sucked.Today started off deceivingly well. My kids were up late last night and I got to sleep in an hour. The day went severely downhill from there. I guess it started the night before when I asked someone to work my shift for me because I got a notice that I had to sign my son up for kindergarten today, Friday. My manager called to let me know that the person who was going to work for me couldn't because he was already scheduled to close (and it would be too long of a day to work open to close). That started the hassle of today.<br /><br />So, I slept in, but I couldn't find my son's birth certificate that I was going to need for registration. I was late then dropping my mom's car back off to her (I had to borrow it the day before to run errands since my car battery died). Then MY car started acting up even though I had just put a brand new battery in it last night. It was idling too low and dying, the battery light was on, the power steering wasn't working, and it started overheating after driving it to work (I was already late and drove there hoping it wouldn't explode on me). I was late to work to do the books in the morning. There is a new manager training and he learned how to enter some of the daily sales info the night before. Note to self- if one person starts doing the books, they should be the one to finish it. I could not make any sense of how what he did. So, I had to go back over everything to grasp what was going on. Then the credit card sales didn't match up. Someone ran a credit card under the wrong employee number. Ugh. I got it all figured out, though. After that, I found out that my floor chart hadn't been set up the night before by the closer, so everyone was lost and didn't know where their sections were. At this time, I had not eaten anything yet. I hadn't had time for breakfast at home and we were busy enough that I couldn't eat. I didn't eat anything until about 1:45pm.<br /><br />So, my relief was supposed to be in at 2pm. He showed up at 1:30pm, dawdled around for a bit, then my manager asked him to go run some errands to pick up a few things we needed to finish decorating. Yeah, left at 1:50pm and didn't get back until 2:25pm. So, instead of being able to go straight to sign my son up for kindergarten, I had to get the stupid car taken care of. I brought it back to the store I got the battery from thinking they sold me the wrong battery. Nope. He told me that situation had happened to him and he had popped a belt. Opened the hood. Sure enough! There was half my serpentine belt! So, I had to call around to find a place that would put a new belt on for me at 3pm on a friday (almost close and usually not open for the weekend). I found a place and carefully drove the car over while praying that it didn't overheat on the way over there. They started working on it and I had my mother pick me up to take me to school registration.<br /><br />Kindergarten registration had the looooooongest line ever when I got there at 3:45pm. And the car place closed at 5pm. I filled out my papers and waited and waited and waited in line. I ended up having my mom go BACK to the car place with a blank check from me to get it paid for and get the key before they closed. There went $120 I wasn't planning on spending today. I picked up the car after registration (which was an emotional roller coaster in itself! I can't be old enough to have a child in kindergarten! When the heck did that happen?!). I went home to talk to Mark about the rest of the night (and the errands we still had left) to find my niece was over for a sleepover (I love her to death, but after this day, I was NOT in the mood).<br /><br />I realized that tomorrow night we have Friendsgiving (Thanksgiving, but with all our friends!) tomorrow night and I have to bake pies to bring. So, I went out to the grocery store to buy all the ingredients. Then I drove ALL the way across town to the video game store that my brother-in-law's girlfriend works at to buy their last pre-owned Rock Band set for the Wii (Christmas present!). I then ordered pizza because it was going to take about 20 minutes to get there to pick it up on my way home, only to find out that he'd just had to make 40 pizzas for a school rec night and it was going to be 45 minutes until my food would be ready. So, I had to sit there waiting for a while.<br /><br />Looking back on it now, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Figured out the books, worked (gotta make the money!), got the car working well (for now), got son signed up for school, got a Christmas present, got stuff for pies, got pizza for dinner. But I have to say, I cried today because it SUCKED when I was going through it all. Oh! And we had to cancel on my dad for dinner. By the way, I still haven't found the birth certificates, but was able to use the one on file from preschool (I was stressing that I was going to have to fit in a drive down town to the health department to buy a new birth certificate).<br /><br />So, yes. Screw today. I'm tired- physically, emotionally, everything. I STILL don't have my pictures loaded from the camera to list new things on Etsy. And tomorrow- my one day off- I have to bake pies and make sure we're all presentable for our get-together tomorrow night. I need a day off- FOR REAL.Danielle from Beautiful Schlopp Glasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05459676951945806180noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499581277940036453.post-38094323519692464282009-12-03T20:40:00.004-06:002009-12-03T21:08:33.620-06:00We Have A Winner!!!<div style="text-align: center;">Congratulations <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.twitter.com/awilsonrn">awilsonrn</a>!

Really? When did that happen? This year might as well be over! Well, not really. Though we've got the 'stressful' holiday times upon us, I wouldn't give them up. I would give up this cold, though. I HATE the cold. I swear, I'm cold blooded. I can NEVER get warm in the winter. Brrrrrrrrr!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://questgarden.com/47/13/9/070516135658/images/snowflake1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 204px;" src="http://questgarden.com/47/13/9/070516135658/images/snowflake1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />On a happier note, I had my biggest day yet in sales! Yay for Cyber Monday! In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't all that much (6 pendants total). But it sure made my night! It's the most sales I've had in any single week, let alone one DAY!<br /><br />I'm headed off to work for the day here soon, but I've got to get back in the studio to make some more Cherry Blossom Pendants. I just can't keep them in stock! I'm also brainstorming other ideas for pendants in a similar style to the Cherry Blossoms, but featuring a different flower. Suggestions welcome!<br /></div></div>Danielle from Beautiful Schlopp Glasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05459676951945806180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499581277940036453.post-17025050347962136862009-11-30T09:24:00.005-06:002009-11-30T09:56:38.159-06:00Cyber Monday!The internet is oversaturated with buyers today snagging all those crazy deals offered.

She had actually invited me to take her first beginning stained glass class with her. I declined thinking that it was an 'old lady hobby'. She persevered and I was able to watch as she learned and created new pieces. Her work area at home kept growing from just the kitchen table to the unused dining room to the full working studio with room to teach classes that my husband and brother-in-law built out for her in her basement. To make a long story short, she bought the glass store in our area and I went to work for her after having my 2nd child. I still had yet to even touch art glass, but immediately fell in love with it and jumped right in (not literally, of course). I caught on very quickly being a fast learner and having the opportunity to work with it full time (and get paid as well!). We started stocking fusing supplies and introduced our community to that glass art technique. Unfortunately, we have since had to close the store (darn economy), but we both now have a full studio at home. I work out of my basement and have the means to work cold, warm, and hot glass (stained glass, fusing, and lampworking).<br /><br /><br />Head on over to Diva Dea to see what deals she will have coming up:<br /><div>Diva Dea ( <a href="http://divadea.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://divadea.blogspot.com</a> )</div>Danielle from Beautiful Schlopp Glasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05459676951945806180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499581277940036453.post-43459180624155977462009-11-16T07:57:00.003-06:002009-11-16T08:07:42.453-06:00Giveaway on Olivebites!<a href="http://olivebites.blogspot.com/">Olivebites</a> is hosting a giveaway from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sherrytruitt">Sherry Truitt</a>!

Who doesn't love seeing the word 'FREE'? And I know that I always love finding out I don't have to pay extra to get that super awesome thing I found online to me. As for any other special deals, I still trying to decide what to offer. What would you like to see? If you have a shop of your own, what deals do you offer around this time of year? I've thought of doing some kind of Buy One, Get One or a percentage off, but I'm kind of liking the idea of throwing in a free gift with purchase. Stay tuned to see what I decide!!!<br /><br /><br />Head on over to Diva Dea to see what deals she will have coming up:<br /><div>Diva Dea ( <a href="http://divadea.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://divadea.blogspot.com</a> )</div>Danielle from Beautiful Schlopp Glasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05459676951945806180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499581277940036453.post-52960682068043204222009-11-07T16:13:00.000-06:002009-11-07T16:31:22.636-06:00I Need These!<div style="text-align: center;">So, we have this.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRstdY81CqSwPCCSl7d94JHjOJJ-vmgDdof1gENMBxFcjEEhAwYhMEKKrmxoe9xm9mOZ23TURqk8TX_3vdu3cxc-g4LWb2Tvwf3M0Ll9ru45ooFLuxJxNHsIsblP1SnSf_nZX8XLeT6Ew/s1600-h/85e077c34ddfa93e5bc65093579e164d.image.176x176.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 176px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRstdY81CqSwPCCSl7d94JHjOJJ-vmgDdof1gENMBxFcjEEhAwYhMEKKrmxoe9xm9mOZ23TURqk8TX_3vdu3cxc-g4LWb2Tvwf3M0Ll9ru45ooFLuxJxNHsIsblP1SnSf_nZX8XLeT6Ew/s320/85e077c34ddfa93e5bc65093579e164d.image.176x176.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401491032139937218" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(It's a cookie jar- the hole is in the back of his helmet)</span><br /></div><br />And we have this.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMUi12ww3ERsHmBvwuktOq8mwe1Q4hiJmlbgMGserF4TkNyTaCii4d3RCNnLol520gFNNRfkuyV24ALmFijypyskmzGH-rdfSfzjkzmacESxWBqN2PPdDxI4RiUZjCf2oI3JnrdJCh8Q/s1600-h/Darth-Vader-Toaster.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMUi12ww3ERsHmBvwuktOq8mwe1Q4hiJmlbgMGserF4TkNyTaCii4d3RCNnLol520gFNNRfkuyV24ALmFijypyskmzGH-rdfSfzjkzmacESxWBqN2PPdDxI4RiUZjCf2oI3JnrdJCh8Q/s320/Darth-Vader-Toaster.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401491035338584434" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(And yes, is does toast the image that well)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">But I just decided that we NEED these!</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG62x3uAsAEtpCfQESxF9LxM-kMVwg51mUL3tvFcdwQmbITJH0gQKc5ciRf9jBqigcxm856ySTay-bZ1scjVoVG4ah4aGbeMY1edtLhFiLRP8-iARdNIlw1W-k2a5jWiDWEyHj0cDEksU/s1600-h/127-891689_LRG.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG62x3uAsAEtpCfQESxF9LxM-kMVwg51mUL3tvFcdwQmbITJH0gQKc5ciRf9jBqigcxm856ySTay-bZ1scjVoVG4ah4aGbeMY1edtLhFiLRP8-iARdNIlw1W-k2a5jWiDWEyHj0cDEksU/s320/127-891689_LRG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401492195079421282" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(The green ones- Yoda's lightsaber- are smaller children's size!
