Had a great week, my girlfriend is taking her first lampwork beading class in Newbern, North Carolina so she came for a visit.  We had three days of beading.  I introduced her to several new types of glass and she taught me a thing or two.  All-in-all we had a great time, but our beads improved by leaps and bounds over the course of three days.  The last beading session included a glass of wine and our beads really got pretty ;-}
