The Move

After over 11 years of existence, Tinker Planet has to move.  A highly important being was created and he needs to take over the room in the next few months.  I have mixed feelings about this big change.  Mainly because of having the move all of, as DH bluntly puts it, crap, down the basement.  Good thing I have my DS to help me out.  And without further ado... here is the new location of Tinker Planet.

It is actually slightly bigger in space... there will be no door, which will make it look more roomy.  I will for sure go crazy in figuring out a new layout for my craft space.  But I am up for the challenge!  Wish me luck!

Painted

Yep.  I was MIA for many months.  That's because we just had a new addition to our family... something we have all been waiting for. Yeah!

So to give me a break, my DSIL took me to a paint and sip class.  I've been wanting to try this for a long time.  Painting is something way out of my comfort zone.  But I was ready to try this one, with a drink that looked alcoholic so I could "blend in".

I really like the shape of the wood base.  I'd like to have the tool that does that!

The teacher of the class would tell us step by step on how to finish the painting.  Makes it really easy for someone like me who has never painted a picture in her life.

See my "alcoholic"-looking drink? 

And this is my first painting ever!  It's probably nothing compared to most people, but I sure like it.  I have to look for a spot at home to put it.

'Til next blog!

Colored

Coloring is as far as I can get, if you even consider it crafting.  But really, the colored pages can be used as a background for a scrapbook page or a card front.  It's like a stamped image on a much bigger scale.  

Whoever thought of adult coloring books... thank you for helping me get through this point of my life!

Spirographed

So... DH gave me a spirograph for Christmas.  It's my first ever.  And I love it!  And I'm starting the year with it, on the couch.

I used gel pens for these.  Didn't realize how challenging this can be.  It took me a few tries to make an almost perfect spirograph. I'll use this to make cards one of these days....  a card set would be great!

Christmas Cookie

I know it's been months since my last post.  I've been busy with RL stuff that I don't even have time to play in my craft room.  But I hope you're all having a great Christmas season.  No, I didn't make Christmas cards this year.  I sent store bought ones.  However, like usual we opened presents on Christmas day.  And I received something really crafty from my DSIL.

How much work does it take to make this one cookie???  It is so adorable, I didn't want to eat it.  I wish I could keep it forever.  I will hold on to it as long as I can, then I'll let DH have it.

Merry Christmas everyone!
