Welcome

Just a few rambling thoughts and crafts from a mind that is full of both. I am talented in my mind but regularly run full throttle into the wall of procrastination. I have raised procrastination to an art form. A friend once told me I have a BS in BS and a minor in excuse making. If there is anyway to get out of doing my best, I will do my best to get out of it. Welcome to my saburban life. : ).. Lol.

Been busy busy busy as usual.

Pups.

Work.

Pups.

Work.

MIL.

Pups.

Work.

The usual.

It's getting closer to the time where my coworker can retire which is great news for me!

She always told me I can't leave work until she does.  Her last day is at the end of July!

Time for me do possibly do something else with my life.  Orrrrr.

Just go back to Customer Service again.

Hopefully I can find someplace quiet to work this time.

I know that sometimes we can ask for certain things to help us do the job we are supposed to do,

I can ask them for a quiet noise proof clear box to work in.  Lol.


Been working on some other craft items too.  Kept doing my research after seeing

someone sublimating a tumbler on TikTok.  I loved the idea and it looked so easy!!

I gathered all of the necessary supplies, a new printer, ink, paper, tumblers of all kinds

and then I was finally ready to give it a shot.  I just started yesterday and so far, it's been 

mixed results!  The Chiefs cooler cups are great - except that the print is upside down!  Lol.

Tried it twice, thinking that I had the paper right side up last time only to have another

upside down print.  However!  I did a Hello Kitty cup for myself with a Fruit Infusion

cup and it turned out fantastic!  Most people cover the entire cup with the picture, but they

also fight "ghosting" and usually have a well defined line on the back where the ends of the

paper meet.  I chose to leave space at the bottom, top and the side of the cup instead.

I bought a Cricut Air Explorer 2 and some vinyl and added my initials in my

niece in law's font that she calls, "HeartFreakinTastic!"  I love it because it looks

great and has hearts on the letters.  It looks great on the cup as well.


I have a used convection oven that worked yesterday but with some issues!

It doesn't have a setting for 400 degrees, and stalled at warming up at 350 until

I turned the dial past 400.  Then it got TOO hot, and then too COLD while trying to do the 

cups.  One cup had a silver metal tab at the bottom that not only made the cup and oven

smoke, but also burned the tab off.  That can't be good!  I'm replacing the oven after

finding a great replacement on Ebay.  All in all, I did pretty well on my 1st day, even

with my boo boo/s!!  Here are the pictures!




Our dog Milo helped with my cup making yesterday, running in and out constantly
as well as bringing part of the outdoors inside, not only grass, but mud too!  What Fun!!
Here's the picture of my upside down Chiefs cup..
I will get it figured out though!
Wish me luck!
: )..
