    I really like the blanket and the grid stencils, and the way that one item can create an entire card front. I'm not a huge fan of cards that are too busy, or have an ingredient list longer than my arm, or bank balance. I've seen some beautiful cards with lace and pearls, and a mass of flowers, but they're not for me.
    I love your style, and try to take something that I hadn't known from every video, thank you for your generosity.
    Today, I have realised that I'm too heavy-handed when stencilling, and perhaps need to relax my wrist and let the tools do the work.

    I LOVE how that medallion one turned out! SO PRETTY! For the past several years, I have had a problem with stink bugs invading my craft room (the whole house, really). They would dive bomb me while I was sitting here at my desk, crawl all over the place, and poop on stuff. SO GROSS!! Since we have put new siding on the house though, they aren't anywhere NEAR as bad as they were!

      Sorry, Brit here. What are stink bugs?
      Amy, try to make friends with the spiders, if you can, they keep the flies down, although I appreciate that if you really can't cope with them, it's difficult to find any redeeming features.
      I've had one in my living room since I moved in, but finally had to put it outside when it got too interested in what I was doing.

    • @amyswares
      @amyswares  Před rokem +2

      They are a weird boxy looking bug that we have here. I appreciate spiders in my veg garden and don't mind them in my house if they keep their distance from me lol.

Spider story....just yesterday, I was pouring water from my Brita pitcher, and a white spider CAME OUT OF THE PITCHER!!! I lost my mind. Over the years I have gotten much better with spiders, but I really get squeamish with the white ones, and it came out of the pitcher! I screamed so loud Gene heard me from outside. I had to wash that whole pitcher immediately, and now I don't even want to use it.
