Laundry, Paint and Broken Toilets

Its Valentines Day and needless to say, in the life of a single woman, rounding the curve towards thirty, its not exactly a magical time.     Usually I celebrate the holiday by locking myself indoors and watching slasher movies until I fall asleep on the couch, but this year things are different for several reasons.


Reason one:  I have to prepare for work.
  I work a rotational shift and for the next two weeks Im looking at 12-16 hour days, everyday.  This means the house must be cleaned, lunches must be prepared and laundry must be nipped in the bud in order to maximize the time allotted for sleeping.

Reason two:  I have a broken toilet that has to be repaired.
 Being a single girl, these are the types of things I have to take care of by myself.  I see no better day than Valentines to knock out this task.

Reason three:  This year, I have Art to keep me occupied.
(Rather than thinking about becoming "The Cat Lady")

So, yes...  Its a full day of laundry, paint and broken toilets for this girl - and maybe one good slasher movie if I can squeeze it in.

Speaking of love,  I have a new one.  Layering Inks and Stencils.  I had been watching Samantha Kira Harding  on youtube and thought Id give her techniques a shot.  I had a blast!  I enjoyed using so many different colors and trying out some of my new products (I took myself shopping on Saturday).

Here's what I did:
