Another Week, Another Casualty

This time it was me.  I was making a lovely feather wreath when I decided to stick my arm into molten glue.  I won't post any pictures because yuck.  But it's a week later and I still have a gaping wound.  (Don't worry, not bad enough to see a doctor.  I'm keeping it clean and it is healing nicely.)

So PSA: Be careful with hot glue guns!  Or hot things in general!

Crafting with Dogs

I had my first crafting casualty this week.  :-(  I'm working on a small tissue box cover, and one of my fosters got ahold of the completed top piece.  RIP.  Luckily she only destroyed one web, so I think I can just deconstruct down to the sides and then insert a new piece.  If not, I'll have to start from scratch.  Wish me luck!




Update: I wasn't able to salvage it.  I'm going to have to start it over.  :-( sad day.  But not the end of the world.  What really ended up upsetting me, is that this morning the naughty dogs grabbed the half finished side I was working on, and chewed up two corners on that.  So I was pretty angry this morning.  But I learned my lesson and put all my crafting supplies up out of reach.  And this weekend I'm going to invest in a small plastic bin that I can store my supplies in when I'm not using them.
