Can you see me grinning from ear to ear about the weather today? It’s 72 and slightly cloudy – a perfect condition for working outside. Since I got snafued from starting to weed our flower planters yesterday due to rain, I’ll plan on getting out there today.
The planters need work, but they’re not nearly as bad as they were the last time I zeroed in on them, so I’m hoping they won’t take a whole lot of time and effort.
The above pic shows you what I have, except that I have a less-expensive version with only one ‘pen.’
I’m going to drill holes in a couple of wood-burning pieces, attaching hooks to one of them, finishing them up today. I’ll take pics to show you when that is done. I’ll plan on listing them on Etsy later. I’ve started a new piece, too.
I feel like a kid at Christmas, playing with my new wood-burning tool. I definitely feel as if I have won the lottery with this newest set. It’s light-weight, easier to use, heats up quickly, so I don’t have to wait each time I want to change a tip. The tips fit securely and are easy to change. I’m learning some of what I can do with each tip.
I’m going to see if I can find a video on YouTube that shows these and see what the people-who-know-what-they’re-doing do. I’m thinking about more earrings in a totally different style and Christmas ornaments now…
My husband is hoping that mowing season is over, even with the new mower, and I can’t blame him. He did finally get a cover for the new mower yesterday. He ordered it so long ago he had forgotten about it! I’ll be interested – quietly – to see what he’ll do before he drains the mower for the season. If he washes it, I’ll know he’s as proud of it as he is the Vette. :0)
Enjoy your Friday and the coming weekend.
