Valerie,
 VM> WG³ I tried to do a little cross-stitch project, but just could not
 VM> see it WG³ well enough to do it well, another one bites the dust... 
 
 VM> I'm am seriously thinking of getting a pair of mag eyes.  They look
 VM> like they would work real well, but I don't actually know anyone who
 VM> has used them.
 Did I tell you my good news?!  Because of the Fibromyalgia I have, it
 caused the collogen in my eyes to mess up.  Therefore, it caused me
 to have cataracts in both eyes.  Well...I am set up to have surgery
 on my eyes, and may be able to see without glasses!  Or at least
 maybe just use reading glasses.  You have to understand, I've worn
 glasses for 40 years, and I'm 43 now.  I don't remember NOT wearing
 glasses!  My vision now is 20/80 *with* glasses.  One eye will be
 done Oct. 6th, and the other one will be  Oct. 17th.  I'm so
 excited!!!!  I can't wait to have it done!!!!
 
I got a small drinking glass at a yard sale, possibly a Brandy glass,
or something like that.  I don't drink, so I don't really know what
it is.  Anyway, it has a stem, and a large bowl.  I put a candle in
it, and filled it up with decorating marbles.  I had to squeeze in
one last marble, which of course broke the glass in one spot.  So,
being the crafting person that I am, I decopouged (sp) it with 2
beautiful hearts with angels in them.  Then I lined the rim of the
glass with gold paint.  It turned out quite pretty, if I do say so
myself!  Even my hubby liked it.  He usually likes everything I do.
:)  :)  He's wonderful.
take care,
Wanda
