More craft frustration
Apr. 20th, 2022 07:07 pmI intended to make two tags with little messages for The Thing of Beauty today. The first one, a double card, turned out quite nice and was done in no time. The second one, though...
First I managed to mess up the writing on the otherwise completed (and fairly pretty) card - I left out a letter from the most important word. I tried to glue a strip of white paper with the corrected word on it, but it looked... well, shabby. So I tore up the card. After doing some serious housework slaving, I decided to redo the card - and tore it up as soon as it was finished. It turned out really gauche. So I thought third time is the charm, and since the message was clearly cursed, I exchanged it for a different one. Card #3 is... acceptable, although still not what I've hoped it would be. But I refuse to redo it a fourth time!
Other than that, I helped Mum cleaning the kitchen board on which the spice jars stand, rearranged part of the shelves that serve as our pantry - all noodles are now safely stored in glass jars - cooked lunch (Easter ham served wonderfully in a noodle dish with cheese sauce and a salad), finally stored away the craft supplies I bought yesterday... and not much else.
As a funny card I once saw said: Getting old is not for weaklings!
Addendum: I also realized something odd: AO3 counts my posted works as 152. I've just checked: I've posted 177 stories there. Not that it would really count, but it's strange nonetheless.
