<p>It&#8217;s not that I didn&#8217;t even try to write a post. I did. Every time I sat down to write something just came up. First, a friend came in for a weekend visit, then parents surprised us with a weekend visit, then we had to celebrate said visits. It was fun and very hectic, but tiring. Probably because I gave up sugars for Lent.</p>
<p>Anyway, today I get to do something I haven&#8217;t done in a long time: stained glass! I enrolled in a class to get my skill level back up to &#8220;tolerable&#8221;, and will be making a pretty window hanging of a hummingbird and flower.</p>

<p>A word of warning: mine will look NOTHING like that. But that&#8217;s the general pattern I will be following. I&#8217;m hoping I get to keep this one. Every time I make something new, someone in my family ends up with it. Maybe I&#8217;ll have enough time to make more than one. All I know is that it will grace <em>someone&#8217;s </em>window next month.</p>
<p>Hopefully mine 😀</p>
