I worked hard all night on two of my stenciling projects. Both are almost done. Starting is the hardest part for me. But once I embark on a project there's no stopping me. I'm compulsive about finishing it. The one thing I really hate about stenciling is having to wait for it to dry. I really really really want to peel off the stencil and see how it ended up. But no...you have to wait till it dries. Not minutes either, but hours. I got a little impatient and peeled up a corner after about an hour. The suspense was killing me.
So far both are turning out well. One is a multi layer stencil that I had to carve 3 separate stencils for. The other was a mix between stenciling and an iron on transfer. I used glitter glaze on both of them. Both are partially done. The glitter looks good on the dark red I used, but not the white(you can't really see it). I was afraid to put too many layers on, in fear that the paint might peel.
Waiting for it to dry...
Supplies, supplies, supplies..
I'm really glad Sarah taught me how to stencil. It's something fun to do in my spare time that really relaxes me. I hope she's not mad and thinking I'm a big fat copy catter. I was really hoping this was going to be something we could enjoy together and tell each other our tales of failure and triumph, and all the good ideas we had. But of course, I always have some weird fanciful idea of things in my head. :)
School was boring. I did see an advisor from the school of business. Much to my dismay he says I'll have to start taking classes at main campus next semester because Kent Stark doesn't have all the classes for accounting majors. I really didn't want to go there. Their tuition is twice as much as Kent Stark's tuition. At Kent Stark a full time semester is around $2,000. At main it's over $4,000. On top of that, it's a drive to west bufu. My usual 20 minute drive will now be almost an hour. I suppose it's all worth it.
Also, I put in my application to get my diploma for my Associates degree. I earned enough credits for it last year. Not because I plan on quitting, but because it looks better on resumes when you have an associates in one field and a bachelors in another. It could also offer you a foot in the door for a better job while you're waiting to graduate. That and maybe my husband will believe me that I've really been accomplishing something these last few years. LOL!
My weigh in was today. I lost .6 lbs. For a total of 40.8. I don't know how. Other than I do follow my 8 healthy guidelines religiously. So maybe my belly is so full of veggies, dairy and water that it can't absorb fat. Or at least that's my new theory. Still, I could have done better. I need to get pumped up. I'm very much looking forward to my meeting Saturday. That should help.
Here's my super motivational Weight Watchers board....

Gosh, we're chopped liver... Your peeny little visitors. I guess it was kind of a sad "game" night. Oh well.. I wanted to come back sooner but the girls kept fighting over the king size blanket and wouldn't go to sleep. And they were fighting over who got to sleep next to me. So I had one at my arm and one at my feet!
Your project is looking really good! :) See I have the opposite about finishing things... I don't! I think maybe if I could change anything about myself, that would be it. If I had to narrow it to just ONE thing! LOL
Enjoy it now Misty, cause this is the only time you'll be excused for eating like that. LOL! Just enjoy it. And you're right, Sophia does want it. LOL!
You're not my "peeny" visitors. I had a good time. :) Lasagna was good. I ended up getting up at 2 am to eat the rest of it. Dan was pissed at me, cause he wanted to take it in his lunch today. Too bad for him I guess. LOL! We need to get together to watch our shows. I need to know what happens.
Oh yeah, and I've been typically posting just before midnight Misty. Thank you for being a loyal fan. I appreciate it. LOL! :)
Yeah, wow, you do look really excited. lol. I went to pat catans and got some fabric glitter & also some shit that you can spread on fabric and then it dries like beads. I don't know if you saw it. If not, I'll have to show you. I haven't used it yet, but they had all different colors, so if it is cute, I might go back and get more. i also need to go get stuff for a light box for pictures and scrapbook pages. I need to write down the kind of themes that I need, though, so I don't end up with a ton of paper that I don't need.
I finished my lion shirt. It looks really cute. I put rhinestones on the eyes so that they look like they are glowing. I'll probably post some pics on my blog here in a bit.
Hey if your coming up the do classes at the Main campus in Kent you'll be right up the road from where I work. Its a long drive on good days it takes 45-55 minutes. Depending on what time your classes are maybe we could do lunch unless your doing evening classes then your own your own! lol
I'm not sure when my classes will be yet. It depends on availability and when I can schedule certain classes together. I will let you know.
Sarah, that stuff sounds cool. I'm having a really hard time imagining it. But I bet it's neat. I still have all that scrapbooking stuff you can borrow. I always forget to give you stuff. I need to start on my scrapbox too. I'll have to buy some shit for that. Plus, I don't know how to do that decoupage. Someone will have to tell me. I'm going to do it on the outside of the box. I'm hoping computer paper will work. That or I can buy like thinner paper I can print on. I was going to print out all sorts of different pictures of like Ninja Turtles, Lions, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, Leonardo Dicaprio's penis, and stuff like that.
LMFAO! Let's see who'll catch that one.
You should put glitter on the balls. lol.
Just making sure you were reading. LOL! Both my shirts are done. I'll post pics tonight. So make sure you check em out! Can't wait to see yours too.
