Here's Wren painting Christmas cookies. I bet Santa enjoyed those cookies!

When Wren got home Dec. 26th there was still enough snow in Dallas for her to make a snow person.

Bernice's Project Is Complete

News From Bernice

It's finished. My bench is done. This is how it works: We had 6 Tuesday and Thursday night classes from 6-9. The first night we drew our design and painted our tiles. The second time we broke our tiles and started gluing. We could use a hammer or a tile cutter. I found I could control the size better by using the cutter. If you don't have much strength in your hands, the hammer is the way to go.

I found it was easier to place several pieces and then glue each one. When I did one at a time, I forgot where or which way I was going to use it.

After starting the tiles, the instructor invited us to come any time to work on it. That was a good idea because standing 3 hours straight is hard on the back and legs. Some of the ladies sat, but I could never do any thing sitting down, except grade papers!

The last night we grouted. That was easy except for the sides.

It was fun. I recommend it to anyone who likes crafts and likes to meet people. There were 8 ladies in our class from several towns around. It takes patience and talent, two things I'm short on. My design is simple as you see. I'm glad we weren't graded. I would be wearing a dunce cap. The others had more uniform size pieces and more complicated designs. Take a look if you are ever in the Mud Hut.

If you want to do mosaics, I recommend to start small. Maybe a picture frame.

Bernice's Project

Bernice enjoyed our visit to the Mud Hut so much that she is starting a new project this month. The Mud Hut offers lessons in mosaic design. Bernice will inlay a garden bench for her 'shade garden'. There are several steps, so it won't be ready until February. We'll see the finished product then. Check back to see a picture of Bernice's garden bench when it is completed.
