When every board game only has 4 pieces and you need five, make a new one.n
Party plans and such
We will have enough prizes in spite of my lame wrist/hand. Joey finished putting the flowers on my unicorn horn for my costume and I’ve asked for Arthur’s help to make the pin the horn/tail on the unicorn but I may end up buying that game.n
We’re making it come together and my wrist is recovering slowly. i wish I could visit the chiropractor to expedite healing.n
I’m including a pic of the laundered bun bun here 🐰And one of the fairy prizes as well as my horn.n
Bummer
I got overly exposed to some nasty chemicals,(they’re all nasty), and my right wrist has swollen up and I can’t use that arm. I’ve been taking aspirin for the swelling and pain, but while results were good at first, not so much now.n
Joey got two fairy prizes made and I made it half way through one, yesterday. n
The laundry test on the bun bun went well, cotton yarn and kapok make a good team for washability. n
Here’s hoping I get results with some detoxing and I can have the use of my arm back.
Party Stuff
A package containing paints, bubble guns, little unicorns, and a star punch arrived yesterday. The bubble guns are cool! No batteries needed it’s kinetic and it lights up. I’ve got 3 prizes made and all the stars cut out to make bean bags for the star toss game. I’ve got to paint a pic of a unicorn for pin the tail/horn and make said tails and horns. I need to make a bunch more prizes and finish my unicorn costume. I’m going to be busy, busy, busy….n
Time flies …
We’re busy getting ready for our star festival / unicorn birthday party 🎉 And we’ve forgotten to post. It’s amazing how much you can put into a celebration and still feel like it wasn’t quite enough. Anyway, making an effort to make this one full of laughs! Need to get back to it.
The Wig is Done
The wig cap is cotton and the braids are merino and I’m very pleased with how it turned out!n
Less Toxic Nail Polish
Catherine and I tried out acrylic craft paint on our nails this last Saturday, our spa day. I had Liquitex gloss sealant, mica dust and some water transfer nail decals, Catherine brought the paint. We did each other’s right hand, so my nails on my left hand were finished differently than my right. Catherine applied fewer coats of sealant and didn’t use any decals. The paint looked good when finished and if I’d been doing a special occasion/event, it would have lasted 24 hours easy. Catherine commented that it held up as well as the vinyl nail wraps she’d been using. I did the dishes, wearing gloves, Sunday. That destroyed my right nails, but the nails on my left hand did much better. After 3 sinks full of dishes in high heat water, all but my thumb nail with the decal were damaged. By Monday afternoon my thumbnail was starting to peel. I think the decal helped the paint to last. I’m very rough on my hands, so I think the acrylic paint did very well. While the acrylic paint is not entirely safe, it doesn’t have all the off gassing of traditional nail polish. Catherine and I didn’t have any obvious adverse reactions. I don’t think I’ll be doing this all the time, but maybe once in a great while.n
Internet expansions
I’m on instagram and Pinterest now. I guess we’ll need links for that here. Arthur is being kept busy at the cafe, where he works, so it may take some time to implement. In the mean time, I’m Bombazarian on instagram and Sinéad Cannon on Pinterest, you’ll need the accent over the “e”.n
I’m working on my yarn wig, it’s exciting!n
