My Week-and-a-Half from Hell

You know that saying, "When it rains, it pours?" It's true. You know that saying, "What goes around, comes around?" That one's true, too. Karma really does come around and bite one right in the heiny-bumper. Here's what's been happening on my end:

Car accident, ambulance ride, head sutures, house flood, foot-through-floor, and grumpy people. None of this happened to Moi, except for the stuff in the house. The grumpy people were at work, so I avoided them because I don't need any more negativity, thank you very much. However, the people that these things happened to are family, so Moi still had to be involved. All is now well.

I'm not a fanatic about it, but I honestly believe in the Law of Attraction, only I've always known it as Karma. I truly believe that negative thinking brings negative things, so I work really hard at being positive. I also try to avoid negative people because I don't need any help in being angry and resentful. I could teach an entire course on negativity, I do it so well. And I've been trying and trying to not be negative or wish dire things on certain people, but I obviously haven't been successful, or else Karma would have left me alone. Hence, the Week-and-a-Half from Hell.

So I didn't get very much done on my "stuff."

Here are the last batch of Tyvek beads. You're probably sick of them by now, but that's okay-- so am I!









I was planning on doing step-by-step photos, but ended up not doing it yet because of all the other things going on. I'll still do it, though. I wish I'd had some step-by-step photos to look at before I started, but hey, it's all good, right?


This is an experiment in fusing. I just wanted to see what would happen if I blobbed a bunch of stuff together all over some fabric. I also wanted to see how many layers I could stick on before the sticky ran out, and how thick I could make the paint that was used. Normally it's diluted, but this paint was straight from the jar/tube/bottle. And, it was heavy-duty fusing web, not the lightweight, so it came out shiny and pretty stiff. I have a feeling it won't be very needle-friendly. I'm thinking the needle will pick up a lot of sticky. Probably wouldn't be much of a problem with hand sewing because I can clean the needle easily enough and keep on sewing, but machine sewing would be a real pain. Guess I'll be finding out, huh? I'll just do more experimenting on this, and see what happens.
