I haven't stamped anything much lately. Too much stress, too humid, and just lacking motivation and/or inspiration. We are well in to Summer, and boy it's been hot and humid 24/7. Summer arrived early, it's not usually this humid until well after the New Year. February is (usually) or hottest most humid month. Anyway, here is a mobile shelf/drawers thing I put together this morning. I started on it last night, then realized I had put the drawers in the wrong way. Bummer.
So early this morning while it was cooler, I removed the drawers and turned them the right way round. I hate flat packs, but I wanted to get this done so I can store my Big Shot Switch and my Scan n' Cut machines on it. I had them both on desks, which was 'ok', but the problem was the desks weren't near any power points. This meant I had to run extension cords across the floor to the nearest power point.
This way I can just roll the desk to the nearest power point. It was a 'challenge' getting it together, my hands didn't want to hold the Allen key, so I kept dropping the Allen key, all while trying to make sure the shelf thing didn't fall apart while holding it with one hand! Quite a feat I tell ya!
There was a fair bit of, shall we say, blue language! There was 2 issues. The first one was the instructions. The description of what bit goes where was basically missing, and I had to keep looking at the picture of it on the box it came in, and hope I got it right. Which luckily I did! (Well, it hasn't fallen apart so far, lol!) The second issue was, a couple of the pre-drilled holes where the screws go, were actually on a slight angle. So putting some of the screws in was not easy. I've had that issue with other flat packs, and it really makes things challenging. I had no way of fixing the crooked holes, so I was glad I got it all together- even if it did test my patience! As you can see in the photo above, it has a platform on one side that you can use if you need extra space. I haven't put anything in the drawers yet, but was thinking I might put some cardstock in one of them.
My art room - AKA Dining room - has 3 big big windows, so I can easily roll this cabinet to one of the windows if I need extra light. I also have a small tv here if I want to watch something!
I have lot's going on at the moment, and as I said, I really haven't done any crafting. I'm finding Christmas stressful (again) and have not sent many Christmas cards at all. I just can't do it. Andrea B I sent your card yesterday, I hope it arrives in time for Christmas!
I think I've sent 2 cards. I'm focusing on creating art/cards etc that I like, for 'me', for my own personal enjoyment. And I hope no-one is offended by this. But as I get older I want to do things that are fun, things I enjoy. I still have a few cards to do, ones which can be hand delivered. Thoe special people in my life will still get a hand made card from me. Ok, I'/m babbling on like a fast flowing brook! My health is good at the moment, and I haven't been in hospital for 7 weeks which is great! Hopefully things have settled down now. Fingers x'd! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
