Glassworking and Other Weekend Adventures

Cold weather persists here in Peoria.  A couple of us have been under the weather here, and we have all been pretty busy. Kris is rehearsing for "Godspell" at the end of April. Karen and Katie have been selling Girl Scout cookies (Katie dressed like a thin mint cookie today to boost sales). Yesterday, Karen and the girls attended Chinese New Year at Dunlap High School.  I attended demos at the Riverfront Museum and then later attended a glassworking workshop at J Draper Glass.  I love working with glass, but opportunities are rare, so I jumped at the chance to make a paperweight as part of a Chemistry Club field trip.
