Simmer Sunday

Simmer Sunday y'all. Enjoy!

Week Two

What to do, what to do. I think I have decided what I will work on this week. A collection of dinosaur silhouettes. I mean, I am the Crafty "Raptor" right?

That's about all for now. I have to set aside my crafty raptoring for a bit and go handle some normal human things such as grocery shopping and cleaning and cooking...

I think I'd rather stay here :)

Operation: Medal Works

The mission has been a success! And just before the deadline I gave myself! I decided I would be completed and blogged by the end of Sunday.
So here I am, 10pm on Sunday night and I'm ready to post the completed project. It ended up being a bit more difficult to affix the medals. I actually had to nail through the back board of the frame to place the pins, but it worked and the mister and I are both very pleased with the result.

But I'll let you be the judge. It's fairly simple, but it's what the mister wanted and it makes me happy to make him happy!

(side note, I apologize for the picture quality, my camera is in the car and I had no intention of dragging myself down to the garage to get it. So the iPhone camera will have to do.)

Bad raptor... bad.

Hello!

Well, I have basically completed my project... but I am afraid reveal day will have to wait until Sat or possibly sunday. I am a silly crafty raptor who decided to spend all day yesterday with my wonderful mister and his sister at Knott's Berry Farm! So reveal day will have to wait... but in the mean time... YAY for family time!

You understand right? Of course you do... and that's why I love ya!

bye bye summer

It's cold!

I was beginning to wonder if we'd ever experience some true fall weather here in sunny CA, but my doubts were subsided today! It wasn't exactly cold during the day, but it has sure been cold this evening! Cold enough in fact, that we turned on our heat!

Just saying... this rocks :)

Updatey Schmupdatey

It's been a long day folks. The Crafty Raptor is feeling mighty under the weather. I finally went to the minute clinic today to get to the bottom of it and was actually told that, though I may have a cold the largest factor in my recent illness has been a food allergy! I knew I had an allergic reaction because of the tell tell signs on my skin... but apparently it's turned my insides topsy turvy!

But the good news is, my self medicating on Benadryl and Claritin has been the right course of action. I've just got to keep on keeping on :)

In the meantime... I am crafting still. I'm having a harder time than usual because of the physical junk going on, but I'm working through it. Friday will be reveal day and I'm hoping that 'Operation 'Medal Works'' turns out to all our likings!

Sunday Simmer

I think I am going to dedicate Sunday's as a "simmer" down day. Each Sunday I will post something relaxing and enjoyable for people to do or see. A nice way to relax before starting the work week.
So for today... here's 42 seconds of penguins and Bert.

If that doesn't make you smile... than I just down know you anymore :)
