Vic: Look forward to those Birdhouse photo's ... I understand about computer/camera/technology stuff ... makes me crazy trying to figure all of it out sometimes!

Debbie: Love that Birdhouse ... perfect for a shelf or windowsill! Did you make that cutie?

I'd love to have the patience for crafty things!

Lin, once you start, there's no going back to a normal life.

The faux mosaic I have coming up this week is fun and you do not have to be overly crafty for it.

Be careful what you wish for!

Last summer I didn't even think I liked mosaics from those I had seen. After visiting a ton of mosaic sites I'm hooked and you wouldn't believe the stash of china, tile and glass I've collected in less than a year.

I can't wait to see it either and I need instructions, although it will be awhile before I can find the time to try mosaic-ing!

So Charleen, did you make those over a wooden form, or are they solid hypertufa/cement/?

Yes, I built the house, then coated it with a cement mix and gem/stones that is on them. I may have to do another.
Let me think of what I might make.....
