Life Lessons With Socks & Umbrellas

Are sometimes learned with socks and umbrellas.  After a lesson about how rules protect us, GGirl and MMan decided that they liked the "rule" game, and played for another half hour.

Why Expect Perfection...

I'm my own toughest critic.  For some reason if I try something new that I expect to be within my capabilities, I expect perfection from the start.  Such is the case with my first glass etching project. 

A friend had shown off her project.  She described it as "easy".  I figured I could do it.  Her piece was flat glass.  My pieces were curved
  She had all the "right" supplies.  I was improvising.  See a trend here?

I had fun practicing the process in 47 minutes of alone time while I caught a TV show I like.  In the end I have fun new etched wine glasses as a fun reminder to cut myself some slack.
