Well, when we moved in it was my office. In fact she has additional overhead lights for when the sun is lower.
SHe had a nice chair and then soe A-hole stole it for his office. That might be an idea
for her birthday towards the end of the month.

^2-5-2022 Just before midnight, finally done.
^2-5-2022. I bought ^this frame online from Northern Hardwood frames, who specialize in stained glass wood frames. Unfortunately, I made a mistake when I ordered it so the groove was too large for a foiled edge project. I had them make it for a lead glass edge which is wider than a foiled project. I thought it might work if I put zinc around my project but the zinc increased the total size just enough to make the wood frame too small. I spent a lot of time staining the wood and sanding it. Oh, well. At least it was only about $70 wasted. I've done worse.
Anybody need a stained glass frame for a leaded project for these measurements? 
Your glass panel width x height in inches: 18" X 10 3/16"
Width: 1 3/8 inch
Groove: 5/16 inch
^2-6-2022. I can finally see how it looks with sunlight behind it. I'm very pleased! I'm going to give it to Michael today for his 62nd birthday, that is tomorrow. His father is already at Michael's place and I'll meet him for the first time. They are both football dudes but only Michael is nuts for the Seahawks.
I also made him his favorite cake: Chocolate with raspberry frosting. First time I've made frosting from scratch in decades. I used real raspberries.
