Always Playing Catch Up

 Hey Y'all!

It seems I'm always playing catch up here lately, and I appreciate you sticking with me!

Radiology measurements and calibration was today, it's easy though a bit uncomfortable. They said it'll be about a week until my first session. (They'll call me.)

Now.. to catch up on blogs...

17th Wed- Mascara Review

My favorites in both high end, and drug store remain the same:

Wet 'n Wild Big Poppa & Stila Huge Extreme Lash

Previous blogs that mention a mascara:

https://craftinwifescreations.blogspot.com/search?q=mascara

How do I like the creme mascara(s) I recently purchased? They're pretty nice! I'll have to try both out a few more times to form a better, more thorough opinion.

I still don't like TooFaced Better Than Sex mascara, it's not the worst, but it doesn't do anything for me, but darken the lashes. Another I don't like is the Wet 'n Wild protein mascara, it just doesn't enhance the lash in any way. 

Do you have a favorite mascara? Share in the comments below!

22nd Mon- Crafting Q & A

I again didn't ask you all for any questions, so leave them below for next time!

 Hey Y'all!

 Enjoy a short craft tag, and feel free to play along in the comments below.

First I did this craft quiz:

https://www.thequiz.com/arts-and-crafts-quiz/

It was about knowing different crafts and tools.

Results:

Then I did this one, about what my craft should be from HGTV. 

The results there were kind of surprising!

I've had a garden a few times, but can never grow much, so I haven't had one in years. I blame the clay/soil. 

After that I did this one, again about what craft I should try.

I like that they showed the breakdown of everyone's answers, but they didn't include many crafts here.

Lastly, I found these questions on YouTube, but had to modify:

1. Which of your current WIPS are you most looking forward to finishing most? don't have any current work(s) in progress. They're almost impossible to have on the road, lol.

2. Which project are you most excited about starting? Brunilda's name badge, and a few decals about her being old and slow. Just have to start working on the designs and get it going.

3. Are there any new crochet stitches/techniques you would like to try? I'd like to progress beyond scarves, rags, etc.

4. Will you be participating in a craft class this year? I don't have any plans to, but I'm not opposed to the idea.

5. Do you have any craft goals for 2024? Not specifically, other than craft more often.

6. Which projects would you like to see more of? Anything! I love seeing what others come up with.

7. Shout-out a fellow crafter who you are excited to watch? There are a ton of crafters to follow on all social media, I've shared some of my favorites in a previous blog. (Just use the search tab at the top of the page, if you're interested.)

8. Are there any projects that you made in the past that you would like to make again? I really enjoyed doing party décor, I'd like to do more of it.

9. Tag someone: You!

Thanks for putting up with my inability to be on time with the blogs here lately. I can't make any promises next week either, I'm sure radiation will start around then,

Have a great day,

Craftin' Wife
