Mystery Painting Project…

By

So these little brown tubes are going to hang on my wall horizontally and hold the random color cuts of vinyl I have. I love those tubes from the Sign Supply place. So I painted them and glue them to a board and plan to put Heat Transfer Vinyl and other random cuts in there. When I get it hung. Which will require my hubby as I seem to not hang things well and they fall down. I will take another picture and post it. I hope it works well because it will mean I saved those cool tubes for a good purpose.

Bingo in the forum is all about organization. I hope you are getting organized as well.

Enjoy!

Minecraft HTV shirt and card

By

I made this shirt for my friend’s son. Who is all my son’s friend. My son was pretty excited and thought of this in December, but we waited for his birthday in January to give it to him. I cut this with MTC on my KNKMaxx and used Heat Transfer Vinyl. I ironed it on and dreamed of a heat press again as I worried about how it was connecting to the tshirt. I made one for my son as well and he was uber excited as well. He loves the game of Minecraft. Also, I made a little card with Minecraft in mind to go with his Birthday Present. One of my past weekend Projects.  Lots of fun! When I can make something for others and they like it.

That is all for today!
Enjoy!

Answers to Questions..
Folks ask my why am I loading to the forum and why the password. Well my other option is a site perhaps like 4shared etc. So you would follow the same steps only instead you go to the forum on the VDBC site and download. I am trying to centralize my work and time on the net so I can create create create. (I am having success with this goal as I have been creating like crazy.) So once you have registered at the forum you can continue to download the freebies by using the passwords. They change once a month rather then every time. So sometimes the forum may not even ask you for a password if you already entered it that month. 🙂 And that is the blah blah blah of today’s post.

Goal 3 .. get fit

By

Every year I look at the “lose weight” goals and try for a week.

This time I am going with get fit.
Get fit being I can walk a mile, chase after my son and make him giggle, shoot some hoops with my son, ride horseback with my hubby, go on a cruise and see the sites, also boogy all night long with my hubby 2 steppin on the dance floor.

So today was my first Aqua fit class. Usually I go to the gym, walk the treadmill and work through the machines that my hubby has shown me. which is mostly arms. and then I am done. Today I went and hit the Aqua Fit class to make a step into the classes. They have yoga also which I want to do, but this week aqua fit. Some really nice ladies. I started moving ehh. not so bad. I can do this. I am going. I go to look at the clock. ahhh. what? Hasn’t it been a half an hour? only 15 minutes. Wew. So then I put myself into it. I have never felt my muscles shake in the pool with these awkward yellow water wing dumb bell lookin things. So woohoo. Happy I did it and took the time. 9 out of 10 if one of my guys have something to do I will stand back and say let’s do yours. But I gotta get in the rhythm of doing for me to for “get fit” reasons. And to keep up with the guys.

So off we go to goal 3. And yes I am posting these I take them on. We shall see where these fit in the many months ahead. 🙂

As for now… I am working away on some files for the QMC, Derby cars and a really cute tile order.

Have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!

Kitten moment

By

Good Morning! Sharing a kitten moment. And trying to catch up from the weekend.

So yeah. I am working away in the craft room trying to work on this file and up pops this little head to watch what I am doing. I think watching the clicking on the mousing on the screen was just to fun. I then put him down because he decided to start batting my hand to keep doing it. ha!

Then I started reading a document and I was pretty into it. So reading and kept putting the kitten down. Because he was intent on what I was doing and kept coming back and back.  and then I realized when I was finished. I had stop putting the kitten down and was holding him as he slept. hah. I got suckered apparently. 
It has been freezing here so I hope it warms up soon. We are on lockdown at night with all the animals to try and keep them warm. Yes it is not as cold as the rest of the country, but we are used to 110 not 14. So the animals have a different temperature index. Hope you are warm!
Enjoy!
Chris
