New Year, New Life

So, I haven't written at all lately, and I want to let you all know that I do miss it. But without the internet its been making it difficult, not to mention all the changes that have been going on in my life.

 In the span of a few months I've gotten a new job, a new home, gotten into a new routine, become an aunt for the second time over, and those are just the highlights. I'm happy to be moved back into Columbus, OH where I feel that I belong. I've been permanently hired on at my new job and have signed all of my official paperwork and gotten my own desk...FINALLY.

 But now that its January I want to get back into a routine that I skipped a little bit in the frenzy of moving: monthly goals. For a list of my extensive goals to see what I've been and will continue to be working out check out my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days.  And now here is what I want to focus on for the month of January: 


1. Start my workout habit: go to the gym four times (once/week) to be increased in February.  
2. Finish unpacking:  I mean for real-not just have everything that's not unpacked hidden in the bedroom I'm currently not using.
3. Start volunteering again: I like my job, but I'm not sure I want to do it forever.  I want to get volunteering again and look into what other opportunities there are for me to learn new things, even if its not at work.  


At Work: 
Make my desk feel like home!  I'm so excited to not be a temp and have a desk that's officially mine, you better believe I'm bringing a plant and all the essentials to my desk.  


As for the rest of things...right now I'm just excited to get to spend tomorrow being Aunt Jessy!


Happy Belated New Year!

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...

DIY Wood Stencil Sign

I purchased these cute blank signs from Target--here's what the original item looked like.  The original item Then I created a stencil using 631-this is removable vinyl.  I chose removable vinyl mostly because I had ordered a large number of a color I didn't intend to use again and had extra, also it works great for things like ceramics where you're worried 651 permanent vinyl won't remove easily.  The key for me was USE TRANSFER TAPE.  In the past a majority of my bleeding has been from the centers of the letters because I was individually placing them by hand and they weren't sealing properly.  Transfer tape not only removes me individually placing letter centers, but it also gives you a better seal.  Just take an old credit card and burnish your transfer tape FOREVER.   I had to use two layers of transfer tape cause my roll isn't wide enough.  I mean, burnish until you think there can't possibly be any bubbles under that piece of viny...

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?
