Lately, I've had my share of screwups. This one kind of takes the cake, though.
Instead of working in the studio, on my folding tables, I've set up a jewelry making station in the dining room. Silly me.
The superglue leaked onto the table and as I pried it up, I also pried up the paint. In a big, long chunk.
Wow, didn't see that coming.
I'd been making these mica flaked sand vials (with the sand from Coronado beach) with Sugarwings. First of all, why would I have sand all over the dining room when I have a perfectly nice studio to trash?
And does superglue really belong on my dining room table? I guess I knew I was either repainting it or replacing it when we remodelled the kitchen again this spring. But I wasn't quite ready to redo it now.
And also, I seriously didn't need to be making dozens of wrap bracelets and all of this jewelry anyway. I have a Downton swap book to work on! And a kitchen to pack up for a remodel.
But, I have to say, I have enjoyed every minute of the time I lingered at the table playing with gems and beads. It has been a delightful escape from everyday life. Now, BACK TO WORK. Vacation is over, and I need to get busy.
Right after I repaint that table, I guess.
