Oh, Foxfeather, it’s BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ll get some pictures taken later tonight and post them for everyone!
Foxfeather, do you mind if I share part of the letter with the forum? I think the story of your inspiration is just as neat as the ornament!!
YAY!!! 😀 It arrived. I was starting to get a bit nervous that it might not make it by Christmas. and I’m glad you like it 🙂 I always get so nervous when making things for other people. I don’t mind if you want to share the story at all! 😀

A mix of Vodka and Water (1 to 1 ratio) in a spray bottle also works to remove odors 😀 . It’s what we use in theatre because some people are allergic to Febreeze or they don’t like the slight scent, etc. (some actors are very whiney)
If it’s not something fabric, Try sealing it in a Rubbermaid type tub with a bowl of Baking Soda for a few days, it may help the “airing” processI always have something whether it’s music or the radio or just the TV in the background. I grew up in a very full house so when things are quiet I can’t concentrate 😈

LOL! Not quite as painful as a kitten climbing your nylons though!

Kachina was my swapee and she sent me a gorgeous blown egg done up in a winter theme like a Ukrainian Egg! I LOVE it! and it’s the first egg of any kind on my tree. I’ll get pics up once the camera batteries have rechargedOkay, Pics Finally!! 😀
My Egg came in a lovely tin and with a Card
And here it is on the tree
Now I want a Sweater with that pattern on it 😛
It’s been a crappy day.
Been trying to find a new family doctor for awhile and had an appointment to meet one today and lets say I was less than impressed and am back to my search. 😡
When I got home, I took the dog (black lab cross) out, only taking my house key and doggie bags, no mitts or hat and a light jacket since I we were only going for 15-20min. When I got home, the door wouldn’t open. I put the key in but the knob was stuck and wouldn’t unlock! 😮 After fidgeting with it for several minutes, and getting nudged by the dog who wanted in, I put him in the back yard and returned to fidgit with the lock some more. It still wouldn’t budge! 😡 Finally went round back to play with the dog and try and think of what to do. Back door was locked and couldn’t jimmie that and didn’t have a key and managed to scrounge up enough change for a payphone (Left my Cell in the house of course) and try and remember where in the area ther might be a payphone, harnessed up the dog and walked to the payphone to make a call. No answer, and because the answering machine picked up the phone got my monies so I couldn’t make another call. 🙄 Trudge home, praying it wasn’t that long until my Mum was off work and would be home (had no idea what time it was). Of course none of the neighbors were home either. 🙄 Fidgit with the lock some more. Sit on the back steps while being nudged, whined at, pawed by the dog, who wants in. Keep trying the lock every so often. Finally lucked out when the mailman showed up with deliveries and he let me use his cell to call Mum, but she didn’t pick up, 🙄 left a message and continued to hope she’s be home soon (at least she would have a car to sit in if she couldn’t get the door unlocked). Two and a Half hours after the first time I’d tried the lock, sitting outside in 2 degree C (35degree F) weather, freezing. Mum gets home and of course the lock opens for her in the first try. 🙄 She then procedes to bereate me and tell me I just didn’t do it right, never mind that I had been trying for 2.5hrs and then tell me that the back door was unlocked (it wasn’t) or I should have gone to the neighbors, called her etc. 🙄 So, now frozen and feeling even more crappy than I had been, I finally get inside and quickly change into warm fuzzy jammies and curl up under another warm fuzzy blanket with a cup of tea and vow to do nothing for the rest of the day. 😥On the plus side at least it wasn’t -20 and no windchill. 😈
I found the Forum in mid-late 2006, after googling Windstone looking to see if they still made my dragons cause all the shops that I knew about in the city had closed, and lurked for awhile before I finally got up the courage to join 😳
Mine Arrived Today *happy dance*
Kachina was my swapee and she sent me a gorgeous blown egg done up in a winter theme like a Ukrainian Egg! I LOVE it! and it’s the first egg of any kind on my tree. I’ll get pics up once the camera batteries have rechargedI think it’s because Winstones need to “breathe”. Rustoleum and other paints like it tend to seal the item and then it can’t breathe. Rustoleum, a believe was originally intened for metals and non-porus materials although they do make a Universal spray paint now. Always check the labels to be sure it’s suitable for ‘your’ project. Personally, I’ve never liked it. I’ve had limited sucess with it although others I know love it 😕 and it STINKS to high heaven. It’s one product you want to use and let cure outside.
Dracco, I would recommed a primer type matrial if you ready want to spray. Or check with an artist supply store, maybe they have a solution? Personally I suck at spray painting things so would just hand paint it 😳

Me boyohs would like to send you a Christmas card and need a snail mail addy for that. I said that sending it to the factory addy would be all right, but they are of the opinion that i don’t know what i’m talking about. Is that a 15 year old boy thing? It must be, because I’ve gone from being the smartest mum in the world to the dumbest one seemingly overnight! 😮 😆 😆

I think it is. My brothers went through (and one still is and he’s 28 😮 ) that phase. It applies to older sisters too 😀

Yep, and as it turned out it marred the look of the piece in certain areas. I had to re-paint over them. Not sure that I like this brush on stuff 🙁
Paitience. Like everything it takes practice to get it just right 🙂 Also, make sure you SLOWLY STIR your clearcoat to mix it. Not sure what the instructions say on the jar, but even if it says shake, shaking causes bubbles. and for practice, squiggles of hot glue, paint or regular glue (to get the raised bits) on cardboard works great.

Aww, I would send you my snow if I could *hugs*
