Hi Tumblr Diary!

Today is my first chorus concert in 20+ years (We've performed at church services but this is my first CONCERT.)

We were supposed to bring stuff for intermission snacks and a fundraiser auction.

This was announced YESTERDAY. I'm the only new person, so everyone else just knew.

I had gotten wind of this about three days ago and started working on a project. I was told to have it ready by tomorrow.

It is supposed to be ready TODAY.

I accidentally partially destroyed it a few hours ago.

It turns out sopranos bring in a craft today, and altos bring in a craft tomorrow. I am a soprano. I might be able to salvage it in time to pretend to be an alto.

One of our signature songs always makes me ugly cry 100% of the time, and now I have to get through it in front of an audience. I am in the front row, because I'm in the seated section.

A fellow chorus member shared with me that she ugly cried at the same song during a performance last year, and it is now on tiktok for the whole world to see forever.

That made me feel better.

Another chorus member just said "Crying is always an audience favorite." I don't think she was joking.

As someone known for being…less than great at most crafts, when Lesley suggested I try out her mini potter’s wheel, I knew I HAD to film the process… 😂

It’s drunk craft time again, folks!  This time, Lesley and I gave each other weird drawing challenges and did a spot of colouring in, whilst under the influence of some VERY strong cocktails...

I feel like anytime I have seen a green mat like mine the surrounding area looks just like this! I guess I know what that means....It's the mat's fault! Warning! If you cherish your clean workspace, don't buy a the green hobby mat. It's like a gateway drug into crafting chaos! Lol. Sigh...now to start cleaning...again. #hobbies #crafting #hobbymat #craftastrophe #hobbylife

Friday Finds! Regretsy & Craftastrophe! (Prepare to be terrified)

Batman Fine Art Print on Craftastrophe What better Friday Finds to showcase than the daringly dual disgusting websites of Craftastrophe and Regretsy? Those with weak stomachs set off by taxidermy or cross-stich penises should avoid. Craftastrophe is a blog that combs the internet for terrifying craft projects. The blog can be a bit confusing, the best way to browse is to scroll halfway down the Craftastrophe homepage and click on one of the "Other Crafty Features" categories on the right. A Fish Wearing a Squirrel Suit - Taxidermy via Regretsy You have no idea how hard I wanted to put that in ALL CAPS. Regretsy is very much arranged like etsy.com (etsy requested regretsy change their website so people could differentiate), so it's unfortunately easy to navigate and find terrible things. Both sites give commentary about the various "finds" they've made. It may seem mean-spirited, but they've also brought sales to the crafters and artists they've found. So, if you're ready to delve into something terrible, here are the links: Craftastrophe: Because handmade isn't always pretty. Regretsy: Handmade? It looks like you made it with your feet. Thanks to Rebecca for bringing both of these sites to my attention!
