It was a crazy crafting day today. The weather was frightful and the fire was so delightful, and as long as you love me so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. And it did.
So what’s a girl to do? Craft, of course. I got a couple of requests, finally, for me to do different tutorials. I am thrilled at the prospect. The first request from my friend Elicia, was for me to do alcohol ink and Dylusions style spray paint. I’ve done a lot of alcohol inks but the Dylusions was a new twist to me. Actually, I had attempted to make it before, but missed a key ingredient. I was watching a craft company that does videos and they were making a spray paint and they put tiny balls in their spray bottle. Genius! That was the component my original batch was missing. I could not shake that bottle well enough to get the paint to mix with the water so it just congealed on the bottom. Not the ones I made today. They were so easy to shake because of the little marbles I used. It only makes sense because you find those little marbles in nail polish and you could never shake it without them.
Once I finished that video, I went on to my original planned video for a DIY stencil. It was simple to make but it still took me a long time to make my card. I’m never sure why I can’t seem to get things done quickly, but I don’t. It’s a curse. Maybe I’m a temperamental artist. yeah, that’s it. Or maybe, I’m indecisive. That’s more like it.
I’m wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. Rich and I are making an addition to our family for Valentine’s Day and I’ll post a photo of her on Monday when I think we’ll be picking her out. (It’s a weather issue.) She’s a very light English Retriever and there are eight girls in the litter so we’ll have a lot to choose from. With our oldest retriever, Aggie, turning 15 in four days, I’m concerned that our other retriever, Bella, will be lost when Aggie passes. I know Rich and I will be devastated. We talked to the vet and she said that Aggie is the calm the puppy will need and Bella will be the playmate the puppy will want. I’m nervous, but excited and can’t wait to see them. You’ll see the photos when we bring her home. I better do some serious crafting before then as I might not have the chance after.
