Current Mood : Bad headache. Bye !
Current Image Notes : Here's a McD's coloring sheet, with the ad edited out. Have fun !
After my little spree yesterday, I made darn sure to stay home today ! It was sooo tempting to run out for just a minute, especially when I couldn't find that bottle of school glue we had around the place not long ago. But I stayed the course, used the wood glue I found, and still had fun, and got a lot done !
It was laundry day here at Chez Insanity, and four loads have gone through. Only dirty clothes are what's on our backs ! I'll spend most of tomorrow getting it all put away. Salvaged an old laundry basket we had on the back porch - it's on it's last legs, but it's still useful in the laundry room. Beloved Hubby was using it for something, but he doesn't need it anymore. Swept the porch and walks while waiting for Dearest Son's bus.
Finished updating the Barbie Pattern Catalog today, after cleaning and printing the last five pattern images. The last one took forever ! But that's done now. Shaped one of the magnet sheets to fit over the Lab vent, and it works perfectly. Now I can sew without torturing my feet, and it pulls up easily. The magnet part is facing down - I could even decorate this thing if I wanted to - and I think it's far enough away that it won't be a risk to any computerized functions in the sewing machine. Actually, though, my machine is so basic, I don't think it has any to risk !
That gave me an inch-wide strip of magnet to work with, so I selected a glass ‘Accent Gem' and started scouting around for a suitable image for my trial run. Could be anything, except possibly something from my printer. Inkjet images always run when they come into contact with anything wet. This is what I used the wood glue on. Next time I'm out, though, I'm gonna snag some cheap Elmer's. This thick yellow stuff is taking an eternity to dry.
Found those DPrincess trading cards that came with Happy Meals a few months ago. Interesting ! Had three Snow White ones, so I got the worst of the lot and started cutting. Spread the glue on with a small paintbrush, both pieces, then weighted ‘em down and waited. Waited some more. Still waiting, it's still wet. But it should be dry tomorrow, and so far, so good ! Cut a piece of magnet to fit - and the paper backing came off. Guess what ? Adhesive on the magnet sheets is completely dried up. Goss only knows how long Dollar Tree has had these, for that to happen ! No big deal, was gonna use other adhesive for the magnet in any case, but it's still funny. And a darn good thing my projects weren't dependent on the sticky back part of the magnet sheets !
