Getting Ready for Nerd Week


There is a nice patio. A good place to relax in the evening.  Thought this year we needed bubbles. 
And other toys

Altered Book - Pop-up

I've wanted to do a pop-up in my altered book and this one seemed to be everywhere. I guess it was a Mother's Day card idea.

The first sample was a mess. These instructions left out some important things about the gluing process although I liked the way they made the flowers. The video was very helpful about the gluing and the second sample seemed to work. 


Used yellow dots and craft flower stamens. Added a green doily to the book. 





And it doesn't open flat - it does open and close.

Wine + Goals = ?

So my goal this week was to get productive again. Do something instead of just coming home and crashing. 

Yesterday worked out fairly well. I got my hair cut and did a bit of house work.

Today, well. The kid brought home some wine left over from a tasting and sampling at work. I had toe try it or hurt his feelings. There were 2 reds. Not bad. And watching Shield was on the agenda. I wanted to work more on the pop-ups I'm trying for my altered book.  Not sure if that's a good idea at this time. 



I've had a good start and don't want to mess it up. 

Reading may be better.
