Randomness XVIII: Ex-Vee-Triple-Eye


Recommended Posts

Hoping holiday cards are good. We opted to have them delivered directly to people we'd send them to anyway. So hopefully they make it and look nice.

 

Spent today and yesterday cooking. Still have some stuff to do. Going to be up late because I, last minute, decided to caramelize them in the crock pot. Which takes...8 hours. Plus another 4 to finish it off. So...going to be a late night.

Lady C spent the day cleaning and getting prep done for tomorrow's family gathering. I had to work extra time at my new part-time job, so I just picked us up pizza on the way home. Hope you all have a great day, here in the US, it is our day to give thanks for the blessings we have. I am certainly thankful for the friends I have made here.

I gave Strawbonnet some direction on how to make some Christmas gifts.  She did the basecoating and applied the metallics over and around the masking.  I tried to get her to go a little softer on the star, snowflake, and tree but she was getting tired.

 

I did the masking (and a couple touchups).  I'll also paint the tops silver and seal them.

 

Mrs. Strawhat picked up the ornament packs at a big box hobby/craft store.  We already had tape and I had the paint (and then some).  I think it's a nice little project that you can do with younger kids.

Ours turned up the other day, in rather more box than was necessary... but I did order more cards this year than I did last year, too...

I figured it was worth the extra...~25$(?) to just have Shutterfly mail them for me. It was all half off because of whatever sale they had so saving my sanity not having another thing to do.

Ah; I get mine from Zazzle, so.. not sure if they even offer that as an option. Betting on Not.

 

The end may in fact, be bonsai.
