| How many times have you said that ?
I've oficially worn that phrase out - especially since I found the internet. I bought some glass from a guy on Craig's list yesterday - when I went to pick it up he asked about my last name - turns out he knew my BIL . Because of that - he loaded me up on even MORE glass and gave me some mirrors for my projects !! LOL
( I feel some Glass on Glass mosaics coming up ! )
.............then ............
My neighbor , Irene , came over to borrow my lawn mower. She started telling me how nice my crafty stuff looked in my yard . I mentioned my next endevor is welding. Her jaw dropped open - she took a step back - and gasped
"OMG !! Years ago I ran a machine shop and I welded steel art statues ! " Can you imagine 2 old ladies all excited & laughing their butts off & talking about welding ?? LOL
I swear - this world gets smaller ( and more fun ) everyday ~~~ !

Me too. The other day DH said, I'm thinking about buying a welding machine. I said, what ever for? I can't let him know that I want one really bad. Garden junk and welding must not have connected in his mind yet. I'll give him a few days and bring it up again. You are so lucky.

| toomuchglass I remember that pic it was posted shortly after I started lurking next to coloredthumb (CT). I don't know if you knew how happy coloredthumb was you had the intestinal fortitude to go for it. She was my inspiration in the world of garden junk/art. She and her DH teamed up and taught me so much.
I'm sure she is watching over us, pumping a fist yelling "Women Welders Rule! Now get out there and do something!" LIL |

I remember coloredthumb and her projects!
I also remember Lucy and her 'lucy doodles' when
I think of welding. I still have Bill's welder,
just no skills........Wish some of you welders
lived close enough to come and use it! |

| Oh man...don't get me sidetracked with my wanna learn list...welding is right up there! So is rock painting & glass kiln work. There is a Garden here Called "Barton and Leir" and they have SUPER cool welded stuff decorating their gardens...huge stuff...they also have an old truck planted up...nice... |

| How lucky can you get! Next door neighbor to teach you the finer points of welding. Right tools & protection are a must including enclosed shoes not flip-flops as you may drop something & don't want burnt tootsies! Have fun & let us know your progress!! Jan |

I can just see the start of a whole new career.
Wild Women's Welding will weld for junk!

| What fun experiences. Lucky you, you have a welding buddy next door now! Love the picture of you and your son. What a great Mother's Day gift. |
