5 Things that Annoy me.

Brought to you by words that start with Q but don't have a U in them.

For the record these are not real words.

1. The fact that large drinks at McDonalds are no longer $1
2. The fact that I had to break a $20 bill to buy said drink because it cost me $1.89 and I had 4 quarters.
3. That clearance plants at Lowes are no longer 1/2 off marked price...because they were such better deals when they were.
4. The fact that downtown Dayton has been under construction on 75 my whole life and I will ALWAYS have to sit in stopped traffic when driving through there.
5. That Google bought Blogger after I already had a blog and a gmail account so that now I can't merge the two and I have to sign out of my gmail account before going to blogger.

Those are just the things that have annoyed me in the past 2 days.

Have a happy 4th everyone!

Crafting Fails

Let's be honest, sometimes things just don't go as planned. Like when you have this brilliant idea to do screen printing on the cheap and your ink runs everywhere. Ink bleeding everywhere Or when you melt the fabulous tote bag you were working on. Melted Mandala Sometimes you just have to admit that you don't know what you're doing and Google it. And that's what I do. So look out for some tutorials in the near future of things that I've probably screwed up previously and finally gave in and Googled how to do. What sort of things have you failed at recently?

DIY Mug Stencil

I wanted to do a follow-up of my previous post to show you how easy it is to use the same process on a mug. I had these great plain mugs I got for 99 cents at a local discount store and I decided they needed to say something cheeky. Boring Originals So I went ahead and created a stencil using 631. This is an example where removable vinyl or stencil material is a MUST...if you use 651 you're going to cry because the vinyl is not going to want to come off everywhere and you're just going to end up frustrated...so make sure you understand your materials before creating the stencil. Now let's talk paint, you can use oil based sharpies on your stencil, but I already had this glass and ceramic paint available (and my sharpies are all mysteriously missing). Keep in mind you CANNOT use just any paint as it will not stick to your mug. This paint is made exclusively for glass and ceramics. Then, once you're done painting you must FOLLOW THE DIR...

Shoes

Shoes Shania Twain Tell me about it... Ooh! Men. Have you ever tried to figure them out? Huh, me too, but I ain't got no clue How 'bout you? Men are like shoes Made to confuse Yeah, there's so many of 'em I don't know which ones to choose (yeah, yeah, yeah) Ah, sing it to me If you agree There's the kind made for runnin' The sneakers and the low down heels The kind that will keep you on your toes And every girl knows how that feels (yeah, yeah, yeah) Ouch, ah, sing it with me Chorus: You've got your kickers and your ropers Your everyday loafers, some that you can never find You've got your slippers and your zippers Your grabbers and your grippers Man, don't ya hate that kind? Some you wear in, some you wear out Some you wanna leave behind Sometimes you hate 'em And sometimes you love 'em I guess it all depends on which way you rub 'em But a girl can never have too many of 'em It's amazing what a little polish will do... Men ar...
