ron and i made a pallet wine rack for heather. i think it came out pretty cool. something needs to be done with my garage full of pallets, hopefully this is just the beginning.
ron assembled (disassembled then re-assembled? there were pieces everywhere for a while) the whole thing, and i just did the artsy deco wood-burning stuff on the front. i also need a new tip for my wood burner, as i use it for ribbon cutting, and the tip broke. go me.
i drew them on with pencil first, and then outlined everything repeatedly with my tiny little wood burner/ribbon cutter.
how cool is that? just like it fell right out of the pinterest internets. of course, the pictures i have are not it's final state. it was stained or shellacked afterward, so it ended up this nice shiny golden color. pretty cool though, huh?
the apartment complex is actually doing a garage sale at the end of may (the 24th and 25th) and we are going to try and make a few of them to sell during that, plus whatever other things out of pallets happen. it's kind of exciting.
kind of like how i am going to a job fair tomorrow morning. that is a little more scary than exciting, though. who knows, though. i guess i will just have to see what happens. i only have a couple hours, and then i have to work anyway. i wish i could just retire and sell arts and crafts and cakes for the rest of my life, but sadly they are not in high demand, so that's not gonna happen. oh! maybe i can sell some of my hair bows that weekend, too. there are kids and stuff around here that might like them. ideas! i have them! (sometimes.)
it doesn't look like much, but i made it for when i wear my dresses and don't need to haul around a coat, or for when i remove said coat and don't want to freeze. it was actually warm for the couple minutes i tried it out, believe it or not.
you'll have to wait for a model picture, though, because pajamas are not that flattering, nor do they make this look as cute as it is. nice weather is in the works, though, so maybe some post soon this won't look like a pile of twisty yarn with a bow on it.
i still have to test my sewing machine to see if that bobbin works. random thought, i know. i just put myself in this craft mode by thinking of selling hair bows at a garage sale. i could probably make other things, but i'll just overwhelm myself by thinking of what else i can squeeze into the no free time i have.
but i have 14 days of paid vacation.....that's like 2-1/2 work weeks.
....but i'm saving that because camping, and north carolina. i really want to go camping, or somewhere i can go hiking. i'm still waiting for the color run to add a date for albany. jerks. i can't prepare if i don't know when it is....or i could, and i could NOT be lazy. i used my wii fit and did yoga on friday morning. ron and i have been walking, except his back still hurts on and off from pulling it, and that sucks.
anyway.....random tangents aside. i didn't bake anything this weekend. i have a pile of brownies to eat, and the last of my bacon cookies to eat. not sure if i will have anything for wednesday or thursday, but we'll see. maybe i'll just make a crap ton of hair bows wednesday night. that sounds fun. it looks like rain, anyway. tea and granny crafts. i miss doing these things. well, have a good week, all. thanks for reading! ☺
