Finally one of the videos we taped before the surgery is up and live.  Of course it’s my fault because I kept Rich too busy to be able to do his editing.  It’s a card with “peg” stamps from the Rubber Stamp Tapestry company.  I really like this company because they have a lot of clients with physical limitations and they try to tailor their products to not only the every day client, but also ones with special needs.  Their stamps are different because they are on what looks like a wooden dowel rod.  They have a line that shows you how to position the stamp before you set it down and the set I used was a lot of fun.  I’ll definitely be getting more of their stamps and am going to try my hand at stamping on ceramic.  I bought two really cool soup bowls at a thrift store that are white enamel with handles and lids and I thought they would be perfect to stamp on.  I’ve been inspired since watching the Frugal Crafter do a tutorial where she made coasters with enamel paints.  If she can do coasters, heck, why not try soup bowls?  So that’s my plan and I’m just waiting to be given the ok to sit long enough to start stamping.

Today, I also tried a new product from Faber Castell called Gel Crayons.  I’m not saying I did a bang up job with them considering I was laying down, but I gave it a shot.  I think I’ll like playing with them more once I can use some stencils and a water brush or blender pen on them.  They did take up a little bit of my day so that’s a great thing.  I seriously need to start to do something more interesting and am really looking forward to be given the go ahead to do so.  Until then, I need to make sure Rich has more free time to get more of our videos online.  I’m a horrible patient, or maybe I just have horrible patience.  Either way, it’s not easy on Rich.
