Did you have a good weekend?

I did…didn’t do anything in the house that was on my list but did dig up ferns at a friend’s house for 4 hours…and got them planted!! My fingers hurt a bit this morning but that is about it, I had thought I’d be in much worse shape…knock on wood!

 

Top two pictures shows more craft-fails for me…Notice the upside down “G” on the first spoon and the barely readible lettering on the second. sigh. I learned to press the letters into a piece of foil to check the orientation…and to hit the hammer harder…guess this will be an ongoing version of hell battle for me. lol.

Also have sprouts! The “P” is for Peas, The “B” is for Basil, and there is also beans, and cucumbers planted. I didn’t start these super early because I can’t seem to keep my seedlings alive much beyond this point. I just wanted to give everything a head start. Those beans and peas are getting tall much faster than I had thought they would though…never started those before…but figured if they can do it in grade school all the time I should be able to handle it…Happy Crafting!!!

Craft Fail…

Not everything goes as planned…this is supposed to be a plant marker. I have learned that you have to hold onto the letter stamps really tight before you hit them with the hammer. That is scary. I can run a drill pretty good…and usually when I nail something I’ll drill a pilot hole first so I can just tap tap tap with the hammer. This craft requires me to HIT with the hammer…scary for my thumbs!!

Otherwise I’ve recaulked the office – and primed the filled holes and caulked areas. Where the paint has beaded up I’ll be recaulking again. What a process!! And……….I have water pressure at my kitchen sink!!! That water jets out the faucet so fast it would take the paint off the walls if aimed that way – it jets out so strong it splashes up and hits the window! Whoop whoop!! Turned out I had a major calcium build-up at a connection point…long story…but it’s fixed. Doing dishes has become fun again – at least for the next week or so before it gets boring again. Well, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Crafting!!
