Engraving on Glass

Random #74 

I got the opportunity to use my glass engraver this time. It's a bit hard to get use to since it vibrate quite a bit and it will impact the direct result of you handwriting. So its good to practice with it a bit on different thicknesses of glass and to practice your writing or just forming lines and making thing more or less bold. 

The glass engraver that I got was purchased at Harbor Freight here is the link ( ELECTRIC ENGRAVER ) incase you want to order it online otherwise, go to Harbor Freight! ITs a cool place for crafters, builders, & DIYers. The best part its super affordable and will open you mind to trying something out that otherwise might have been to pricey to try out... like this engraver it was only $8 but I feel like I can get a lot of use out of it for future craft and party projects. 

Here are a few picture of the machine and the results of what i was practicing with. I had a great time using it and look forward to using it again.







Until next time... keep getting crafty with it.

11 Day Diet

Image
Years ago I tried this diet called the 11 day diet and I was super pleased with the results. The first time I did it I lost a total of 8lbs in the span of 11 day along with exercise. The second time around I lost another 9 lbs. It was such a great tool at helping me understand how to split up my meals throughout the day, as well as better understanding "eating till I'm satisfied"; choosing more nutritious options that are still easy to prepare. It broke it down for me for the first time in an easy step by step way that I knew was effective.  This diet is really easy to follow and contains very basic food options that makes it very affordable and realistic to follow. It also helps with guiding you to better understand your proper eating habits making sure you are eating enough and not depriving yourself so that you have the proper fuel you need for your day and your workouts.  I am planning on starting it up again this month and I need some ACCOUNTABILITY to h

Ziplock Bag Greenhouse Effect

Image
Sup ya'll. Last year I was successful in getting some seeds to grow from placing the seeds in a zip lock bag, along with a piece of paper towel, a few drops of water, seeds, and taping them to the window allowing the sunlight to work its magic.  About a month ago, I did the same thing and planted them in some soil. I am enjoying the process of that.  In the meantime, I decided to do it a third time and maybe share the process.  In the zip lock bags I have the following seeds:  Rosemary  Carrot Mint Catnip Spinach Red Cherry Tomato Stevia  Borage  English Tall Lavender German Chamomile  Thyme  Sugar Baby Watermelon Purple Petra Basil I will make an effort to share the process and success rate of these guys as well as the planted ones that are happy in some soil.

Popsicle Stick Photo Frames

Image
I had the best time hanging out with Naya and Noah yesterday making popsicle stick frames.  I just so happen to have my Instax camera on hand so we decide to have a bit of a photo shoot after their lunch. One we were done wainting FOREVER for the pictures to develop ;) we decided to get crafting. We choose the popsicle sticks we wanted to use without exactly having an a true intention of how things would turn out other than making some sort of picture frame. Below is the list of materials we had on hand to use. Materials  Popsicle sticks + Wood Glue + Yarn+ Cardstock Paper + Scissors+ Watercolors/Crayons  We started out with painting and coloring our popsicle sticks. Some of use used thin ones and some used the tick ones; both look great but the thicker ones are a little easier to hold on to while they paint or color them.  Using either watercolors or crayons works out well; it really is just dependent on your preference.  After coloring the
