Good Morning!!! I have to say that I am in an a amazing mood this morning. I got everything done yesterday which would be enough all on it's own but I also discovered something. I figured out how to put pictures on shirts. I'm using transfer sheets that you get at Walmart but it worked. I made a Crow shirt for my husband yesterday and it turned out really well. I finished one of the bottle designs that I had been working on yesterday. I shared it on here and I really love how it turned out. One of these days, I'll figure out how to ship bottles on Etsy. I need to figure out my mugs yet as well. Now that I have a trick figured out, I want to make more shirts. I said that I Want to try my hand at the fire shirts but that may come later. Right now, I'm still experimenting and what I do know how to do, I am trying to make because we have a community yard sale yet again in October. Usually I wouldn't worry about it this early but everything takes time. It takes a little longer because I am still doing the computer work and house work. I may love the crafts but I still have other things to do as well. I finished the Harry Potter puzzle yesterday and I can't wait to post it here. It's from the Chamber of Secrets. Football is back tonight as well. Game one is the Giants and the Patriots. Game two is the Titans and Ravens. I'm super excited that I may see my team tonight. I'm hoping I can find my game lol. I have nfl+ now so maybe I'll get lucky. Just have to wait and see now. Oh I'm just so excited to branch out more in the crafts. I've seen so many others do it and now I want to. I just don't really want to be a business lol. I think I'll be looking at boxes tomorrow to see what I can do to start shipping mugs. I think that's my next step. I am already selling my canvases on etsy and Facebook so next would be my mugs. After the mugs, the bottles. Yeah and a whiteboard because there is so much I want to do and I'm so unorganized. I need organization lol. I still have to get Wildland done. I'm getting there it's just taking a while lol. Does anyone else here craft? Even just for fun? What's everyone else up to? *picture from google

Football games are starting already? Oh wait, we are almost to the middle of August already. For some reason I keep thinking it’s still July. Thank goodness, that means summer will be over soon. These summers are nothing to mess with here in Florida! When I was the aquatics director for the city I used to work for, we bought our own machine to make shirts. I had 125 lifeguards that worked under me, so we saved tons of money printing all of our own lifeguard t-shirts, tanks and hoodies. Our summer camp staff would also borrow it to make shirts for all their summer camp counselors and camp kids.

I'm getting tired of the heat myself. I don't think it was as bad as last year though. I think that we had a few days over 90 where last year we had weeks over 90. I am just starting out with everything and there's still a few things I want to try. Like all the bleached shirts that are around, I just learned out to make those on my own instead of spending like $8 for a blank one. I also think that there's a better way than just using the transfer sheets that I used yesterday, I just need to find it.

@JordanLader Every single day in Florida is over 90 degrees in summer. This year has been a hot one for us as we haven’t gotten very much rain so far, and that has pushed our highs to early 100 degrees on many occasions. I’m sure you will have lots of fun figuring out all the different ways to make shirt designs!

@moffittjc Those are the days I hate. I know I'm a firefighter but I really hate the heat lol. So far I am and I can't wait to do more. It's distracting from work lol

Darn it! We meant to watch the football game and forgot all about it. I'm glad you are having a good time with your crafts. I used to do all kinds of crafts and needlework; but the arthritis in my hands got too bad so I gave all the items away. Nothing much going on here except for the electricians working on installing our standby generator. Thanks for the update.
