Re: Thoughts

Oooh, I like the idea of friendship shirts! I'm keeping that in my back pocket for next time.

We decided it might actually be more economical to get bulk dyes/chemicals so everyone in the building could participate if desired, and we had the budget. It was messy and very, very colorful, and the results were spectacular. Dharma Trading Co was our source.

>>That looks amazing.<<

Thank you!

>>While I do have some specifics, I also like to keep all-purpose craft supplies -- adhesives, scissors, yarn, craft wire, papers, etc. -- which can be used for many different crafts. That makes it much easier to do a project without needing to buy much if anything special.<<

Oh, I definitely have those too! But I have the terrible tendency to go, "I need green and brown and black specialty paints for my goblin miniatures, but look at this full-spectrum paint set on sale! It will be worth it so I can paint my fire genasi miniature next. And I'm grabbing this minifig primer spray from the bargain bin, even though my goblins come paint-ready, because my next miniature may not and it will be good to have on hand and you can't beat the bargain bin!" [proceeds to finish the goblins and not start my next figure, leaving 85% of the paints unopened]. As a random example that may or may not have happened to me...

>>jigsaw puzzle boards<<
>>craft cabinets with foldaway tables<<

I'll look into those! Thank you.
