Well that was a miserable failure

I tried to be creative. I tried making a spiderweb style thing. No go I tried making a dream catcher. Nope. I even tried making a piece of modern art with the circles hanging horizontally, like a strange chandelier. Not happening. I had a lot of wire so I twisted it and pulled it and … Continue reading Well that was a miserable failure →

Oh goody, another weird craft…

I seriously can't imagine completing this thing. It's not about being patient. I mean, ok, partly it is, but it's also about the fact that the end result is going to be hideous. Yes, the image at the bottom of the picture is of some kind of crystal bedecked monstrosity that I'm apparently supposed to … Continue reading Oh goody, another weird craft… →

The magnets are finished!

Well, the glue dried, but it's been a busy few days so it took me until now to have a minute to clear off the table to have room to reach the little wood blocks that were about to become magnets. So exciting! This was easily the simplest part of the whole project. All I … Continue reading The magnets are finished! →

Almost done with the magnets…

Ok, day three of this project and I'm excited to finish up! Or at least I was until I opened the 'clear' coating and found out it was thick and gooey. However, I was determined to finish, so I dove in. ...yuck... I was doing fine until I realized that at some point I had … Continue reading Almost done with the magnets… →

Making Magnets is…relaxing?

Well, the paint has dried and I have some time on my hands so it's time for step two. I cut up all the sayings and got ready to transfer them onto the wood blocks. That was the last part that was easy. I know, you're wondering how it could be hard to put a … Continue reading Making Magnets is…relaxing? →

Making magnets

I feel like I should have sounded more excited in that headline, but it feels silly to add an exclamation mark to a title about making magnets. Either way, I was excited to finally get my package! Ok, the craft package was almost three weeks late, but I'm cutting them slack because they are located … Continue reading Making magnets →

Napkin Rings are done!

I know, it's weird to be excited about napkin rings, but I'm not going to judge it. I'm just so glad to finally be at the end of this project. There was definitely a lesson in patience in this project. I have none, is the conclusion I have come to. No, seriously. I have gallons … Continue reading Napkin Rings are done! →

Napkin Rings…the saga continues

And so the saga continues... I am currently back to working with the napkin rings. I have got to be the most stubborn person I know. I have no idea why I won't give up on these things, but I refuse. Actually, that's a lie, I know why I won't give up. I was raised … Continue reading Napkin Rings…the saga continues →

The Napkin Ring Project

Step 1 'Doesn't look too difficult...lets see how this goes' was the first thought I had. Then I realized I was supposed to put the beads on the skewers and paint them. Ok, I thought...not hard, maybe time-consuming, but not hard. Oh, how wrong I was. Step 2 It took longer than I thought because … Continue reading The Napkin Ring Project →
