I’m feeling especially experimental and inquisitive right now, letting curiosity guide my creative choices. Between playing with new boho and mid-century modern inspired shadow box designs for the house and tackling a 3D-printed purse in TPU, today feels like a fun mix of exploration and learning. TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane, is a flexible, rubber-like filament that’s strong, bendable, and great for projects that need durability with a little stretch—perfect for wearable or everyday-use prints. It’s one of those days where testing, tweaking, and discovering feel just as exciting as finishing the final piece.
Day 2: Excited and anxious! My A200 Auto Tumbler Heat Press just arrived! Making my 1st 20 oz tumbler! It has ghosting at the bottom, I put in in at 390 F 100 lb, 90 sec. and rotated 180 degrees and pressed again. Not sure if I should have pressed it for longer. I have to figure out how to avoid the ghosting at the bottom and getting a better seam. But I like it! My 40 oz insert did not arrive so I will try one later on this week when it arrives.
Day 11: todays mood confused about which day it is I couldn’t post on one of my days be I talked to much on other posts first and got locked out of chat
Shoot, I started cleaning the craft room this morning and forgot to check in with my mood, which is good. My mind is going a million miles an hour to get things done today so I can head to my sisters tomorrow, but hopefully I won’t forget anything.
Today my mood is accomplished!! My sister helped me organize all of my HTV, including the scraps. I got the 2 new cabinets put in there too! I also got 2 new lights put together and in the room! Still a ways to go, but we are getting there!! Hugs to all!
Well… I am so behind on the game this time around… I am thankfully better and my kiddos as well. Being sick during this busy season adds more pressure to us all. My Christmas was wonderful as I spent it with my family and we had such a lovely time together. I hope that you @rinsky and @Marino had a wonderful Christmas.
Day 19 - Mood - Sick.
Think all the crazy busy caught up with me. Sick with the summer flu. Hopefully it doesn’t linger. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying these holidays
