Re: Taking the plunge
Your cat is a lightweight @Maggie!! My boy walks over me and uses me as launching platform! He's over 6kg though, so even the pressure from just one leg feels like it might poke a hole right through me.

Wow @Sans911 that's tropical compared to here 😆 It was icy yesterday. Very much winter weather for us.
Hugs for you and your Mr A from me and my collection 😉❤

Re: Taking the plunge
By the look of how the lady using them, ( the bags), it would be up to you how well you manage. @CheerBear .
Just a though, could it be the primer ? I tend to use a damp cottonbud to remove chalk marks. Have you seen the rolled cotton bud to remove a mistake when paint is wet. Works a treat. 👍👍
I haven’t had any success with my second stone either @CheerBear . I’ve painted over it twice now, the colours just aren’t doing it for me. It’s one of those frustrating things with crafts. It takes practice, but it’s fun. Messy fun.
Cold here, but blue sky. I think around 13 today. Good pj day.
Sorry you have to go out, but meds are important. I hope your meds help.

Re: Taking the plunge
Morning @Maggie @CheerBear @Sans911 😀
Gotta laugh at your respective furbaby antics. My Holly, all 5kgs of her, only ever wakes me up if she needs to go ouside. Thats not often as she seems to have a good holding capacity. She is still snuggled into my side, all soft and warm as toast. I sometimes have to drag her out of bed. She loves her sleeps. Once we are up, she will find a place where the morning sun beams onto her. She is usually in no hurry for her morning breaky. Dinner at about 4pm though, is an entirely different matter. She becomes a demanding impatient little devil. But somehow still very sweet at the same time.
Enjoy your cuppas, and I hope you have a nice Saturday. Any plans?
Sherry 💕

Re: Taking the plunge
She’s a little chihuahua @Sans911, a bit over weight. She sits on my face if I don’t get up fast enough for her liking. She’s a madam.😂😂
Oh WOW, 6kg. No wonder you feel like a poked hole. He’s a big boy.

Re: Taking the plunge
@Sans911 6kg sounds big! I have no idea how much ours weigh but am interested now. Funny that your cat is bigger than both @Maggie and @Former-Member s dogs!
I'll have to get the cotton buds out to give it a go @Maggie. It was me being not patient I think. I wanted to see what they looked like shiny and wet. I might sand it all back and start again maybe 🤔 It can be very frustrating but I keep thinking practice will make a difference. That and new paint. Maybe it's the paint. Maybe I need new paint. Maybe I should go to spotlight... 😉😆
My plans today are chemist, cleaning up and painting @Former-Member. I will have a look at some apps the kids need for school work next week too. Quiet and warm is the general plan I think.
How about you?

Re: Taking the plunge
😂 @Maggie - you give me an early morning giggle. Thank you. I don't know what's worse - face sitting, paw slapping or poking holes.
Mr A has no regard for the fact I still have surgical wounds that are healing, and quite happily puts his weight there too. Then he gets my cranky face and voice.
He's settled down now against my leg. Purring away.
Holly sounds so adorable @Former-Member except for the 4pm antics. Mr A just cranks up the meow meter!! He usually gets fed around 4:30 pm.
I have an online video volunteer event later this morning. I am teaching people (and me) and how to make brownies. I'll save you all some for later. 😋 Yummo9

Re: Taking the plunge
Have you tries ‘ Golden’ paint @CheerBear . Fluid acrylic. They have great pigment. I bit more expensive, but I’m finding, worth it.
It really is just practice i think, and confidence. Sometimes something just clicks in my brain, and the light bulb moment, it all becomes clear. Until the next stone or canvas.😆😆
Did someone say spotlight. ???????

Re: Taking the plunge
Ouch to weight on surgical wounds and 6kg poking @Sans911 . I’d show a cranky face and voice too. They have no respect, that’s for sure. In a nice kind of way though. 🐶😸🐾🐾💙💜😈😈
Brownies......Thankyou. I’ll look forward to that. Enjoy your day. 💜💙💜💙
