I thought I would share what i have been up to the last week or so. I was very much into gardening when I moved into my last house and watched all the gardening shows. I saw a few with stained glass stepping stones but when I looked at stores I suffered from sticker shock. I took and class in stained glass and started making them. I probably made about 40 of them but gave away at last half as gifts.

I decided to take up the habit (hobby) again. Here are a few works in progress. It took a bit of practice to start doing the more challenging cuts but I am getting back into the groove.

I already poured the concrete for #1 and #3 (the frog is black and the flower is pink). I added sky around the sun on #2 a few minutes ago but haven't decided whether to leave as a circle or add a border to make it a hex. Then I have to smooth the edges and prep it to pour. It takes a while to pour since I mix my own cement with additives to strengthen them so I can leave them out in winter.

I might make about 25 and use them for a walkway from the driveway to the back yard. Haven't decided if I should have a common theme or just a whole lot of random unique pieces.

Well that is how I am spending this rainy long weekend.
