Drill Girl

I love using power tools. I mean, a drill is probably the simplest of them all & isn't as MACHO as a table saw or anything. But it's way cooler than my hot glue gun & makes more noise than most of my art supplies so that's neato.
I've finished up the custom order pinwheels today. When I first bought all the supplies, I made a big ole mistake & bought a dozen pieces of the wrong paper at the craft store. It was a slightly different hue than my prototype. That sucked (because I couldn't return them as I'd already cut the paper!), but it just taught me a lesson to bring in a sample or swatch to match next time.
The pinwheels ship off tomorrow. I've always shipped USPS. But, I'm going to UPS tomorrow to ask them about the best way to package & ship these. I'm sure it'll be a bit more spendy, but worth it for something so delicate.

I'm totally into baking lately. My girls were having a sweet tooth attack the other day & I had no sweets in the house. So, I baked up a batch of oatmeal spice shortbread cookies. I made them into the same circular shape as my strawberry tart last week, but then cut them into wedges. Yummo! With a cup-o-tea or my favorite English Toffee Coffee Drink it was a perfect snack.

I'm off to make some more vintage button bouquets. Don't you just love crafty projects that you can curl up on the couch & make....(while eating a large bowl of Tillamook Mudslide ice cream & watching a rad TV show?)?
