Things I have learned:

Drilling into stone (even wonderstone) is scary.

Drilling into stone (even wonderstone) makes the stone hot. Very hot.

Working on the patio with the screen open encourages things to fly into the house.

Bees like lamps.

I'm afraid of bees.

Baking soda is not a great substitute for talcum powder.

Baking soda goes away if you blow on it.

More to come I'm sure.

Some things, one must learn for one's self.

What have you gotten yourself into woman? Are you ok? Wear eye protection and a mask when you drill stone- you don't wanna be breathing the dust. Gloves too. Use corn starch as a substitute for talcum powder.

How's the mold coming?

*grin* I was wearing eye protection, but not gloves when I did the registration pins. I was scared I was gonna crack the stone in half, not that I was going to hurt myself. (I was more afraid of the bee in the house.)

I'm mostly done, but it doesn't want to pour. I'm letting it cool off and then I'll try and figure out how to get it to pour better. (This is not part of the process I understand.)

I echo the words of Tonwen the Wise! What are you doing out there? This is what you cleared off the patio for? And now a bee in the house!? Eeeeeek! I'm with you on the bees. Not to mention getting stung can result in a quick trip to the nearest hospital.

The worst injury of the weekend was cutting myself with a knife while cleaning up the kitchen yesterday. :) I'm fairly cool with power tools.

The bee was more exciting. It full to the chandelier, so I turned that off. Then it flew to the lamp, so I pulled the plug, thinking it would go to the light and fly outside. I resorted to a hand vac and it released it back onto the patio.

Wow, life lessons for us all. I hope you're OK and you have all your fingers still.
