    Hospital del Madre

    I’ve fixed a lot of toys in my day, and I have to say, I’ve found the best glue and tape combination to prolong the life of our my sons toys.

    The tape is great for bigger toys that need a little bit of movement still (like on Spiderman’s arm), then when combined with the glue, the detached piece no longer falls off. The best thing about it, there’s really no recovery time. I’ve used other methods, and it sucks when they have to sit over night so that wet glue can dry, or when tape is too stiff… With this, glue dries in under a minute, and the tape, well, it’s something like an ace bandage for plastic people…and dinosaurs too. Yup.

     

    OK, bye!

    The Healing Power of Starbucks

    A Blueberry Scone+ Iced Caramel Macchiato = an ouchie that’s not so bad

    That is indeed a fact...well at least for me.

    Today, in an effort to swat a fly, I smacked my desk and bruised my finger.

    At first it was a little red, but now it’s blue and purple…

    Its funny how my Starbucks makes it not feel so bad. I guess if it still hurts in 2 days I should have it looked at…in the meantime, I will be sitting under the AC eating my scone, drinking my latte, and reading up on hypertext markup language 5. So that is all.

     

    Hasta luego!

    Toy Box: Finally Done!

    I finally finished the toy box for the super hero’s bedroom. Honestly, under normal circumstances, it can be done in a day. In a few hours, really…But that isn’t the point. The point is, I finished, and I am fairly pleased with the way that it turned out.

    These pictures were taken after the first coat of the Mythic Paint in Seaside Reflections. Its the same color that I used on the frame of the super hero’s bed.

    I think I would rather spend the money to buy the ones from the Land of Nod than build another one. Otherwise, I would want to invest in a rotary tool so that I can make mine prettier.

    Considering that this was my first build, and I did learn quite a few things from it, I’m sure that if I do decide to build another one, it will no doubt be much better.

    I planned for this to be placed in the closet, and maybe eventually it will end up there, but for now, it sits beside the bed. Everything in this picture will be moved soon though. It is a tiny room, but this layout really bothers me. I hate the bed in front of the window.

    Big, deep sigh. Slowly but surely, things are beginning to come together though.

    Talk to you in the next one!
