Pineapple Stained Glass

Hi!

Way back, a long long time ago, our cottage looked like this:

We had the main cottage with the front porch added.  You can see our tv room on the right which eventually became DS's room, then DS's & DD's room, then finally DD's room.  Our front door was painted red.

Here is the door from the outside porch area.  The wall on the left is to the tv room. (After we had DS in 2003, we closed in this porch area for a tv room.)

 HH and I decided to take a stained glass class with some friends of ours.  We wanted something nice for our front door so we thought we'd make a pineapple, which means "Welcome"  (my mom had a wooden pineapple she'd made by her side door!). You can just see above, taped on the door, some glass pieces.

We made a pattern, and thru the weeks we made our pineapple.  Here it is with the sides coppered up.

We found a nice yellow glass that kinda looks like the inside of a pineapple to put around the outside.  

The pineapple stayed on the red door for a while, then we eventually moved the door to the breezeway/courtyard and painted it grey.

Here's a nice picture from June, 2013.

Here's another stained glass we have in the back room, that our friends, who took the class with us, gave us for a Christmas gift! 

Today is my fav day of the week.  HH is gone all day with work and a meeting tonight so it'll just be me and the kids home this afternoon.  We will probably go to the library.

Have a great day! :-)
