Re: Taking the plunge
Quick hi this morning as it is the special one here and I have to get myself up and moving early. I'm really hoping coffee kicks in soon.
How are you this morning @Maggie? And how was your yesterday?

Re: Taking the plunge
I chewed my counsellor ‘s ear again yesterday @CheerBear. I’m certainly stretching any training she ever had. 🙃🙃🙃
I love these hours, but I know your life is beyond busy, and I worry about ‘ you’ time.
I Looked up the wood creating you are thinking of doing. I thought it was a wrong spelling to start with, then checked it out. Wow, I mean, check it out. How amazing. I can see why you are waiting for Father’s Day tool sales. 😂😂😂😂 Did you say you might do your dinning table?
Painting today @CheerBear 👍👍👍

Re: Taking the plunge
Thank you for caring about me 💜
Haha yes to the dining table! We are planning on making one now I know how to secure the planks of wood to create a table top. Then setting it on fire 🔥😆 Once it has been burnt then the dye comes in. If it worked I would consider investing in big metal industrial legs. It would be an incredibly unique table! And craft would only be allowed to happen on craft tables not the dining room table 😉 Our current table is very used now, which I love but it won't last. Maybe this is the solution 🤔 Either way it will be heaps of fun! And yes, tools are looking pretty tempting 😆 We have one curve ball in that we shouldn't really be going anywhere for now thanks to where we live, which means we shouldn't probably see our people until that changes. They've threatened to make that a directive, not just advice and if that's the case both my desk and our table will be on pause. I think the workaround might be needing well person to watch kids on school holidays while I work but we'll have to wait and see 😑🙁 That was a ramble haha!
Painting more stones today? Are you going to try some more blending colours?

Re: Taking the plunge
Yes @CheerBear , the ‘ everyone hates me’ bug is alive and well. She agrees a response of some sort is overdue. But that changes nothing. Her suggestion is to ring myself and ask. Reasonable enough, but I don’t know them well enough. And I’m possibly going to come across agro, which I am. I also know past experiences is having a field day too. More patience needed. 😔😔😔
That sounds exciting and challenging.
I have seen restrictions coming back. Annoying after all this time. Yea to curveballs. 🤮🤮 But it does sound like it’s going to be a very nice table. The holiday plan sounds like a good one. Gosh, they are soon. 🤔🤔🤔
I have a really nice blended stone @CheerBear, but the temperature has made the resin sticky. Annoying, very annoying. I might have been too keen and not measured accurately also. I did some reading yesterday, so I will put the resin in a warm bath next time. All fun though. I’m enjoying blending. 😍😍

Re: Taking the plunge
Good morning @Maggie @CheerBear @Former-Member and anyone else around here today. Thinking of all of you often and following along when I can. Miss having time to get into conversation with you guys but we're always here at different times - usually I'm around later in the morning than you are.
Hope today is gentle and goes smoothly for you all.
Wondering what the 'special' day is about CB.

Re: Taking the plunge
Nice to see you and thank you for your message @eth. I hope things are going well in your world.
Thanks for the cuppa and thoughts @Maggie. It was a great day thanks. I was so tired by the time I finished everything though, but most of it is the kind of tired from stretching my brain I think. I did some cool stuff at work yesterday 👍😁
How was your day? And how's your today looking?
