Mini project: Dinosaur fun!

-
Ok reader,
It has been over a year of blogging once a week. I was thinking back on what I was writing about last Thanksgiving. I had made some absurd cheese ball creation. This year, I am not in the holiday spirit. I mean, I love the holiday that's not what I mean. What I mean is that I don't have a Thanksgiving related project today. Maybe I will pick it up late like my Halloween costume.

I don't really see the need to celebrate holidays on the day that they happen. Why not put up a Christmas tree in June? Really though? Is it any less weird to have serious fire hazard in the shape of a tree in your house in December? Does turkey taste less good in March? I have tried it and let me tell you, turkey is always delicious. Celebrate your holidays when you damn well feel like it. I am gonna start putting up Halloween decorations tomorrow and just see what the neighborhood thinks. It worked for the Adams family.

Anyway, this week I have something little. I was just trying to quench my crafty senses and make something. I had this little dinosaur kit. It isn't the most complicated, but it will be fun!

Dinosaurs are clearly awesome so that definitely helps. I really want to paint it and make something neat, but that will be a project to bump this one up another day.

When I first started doing this, I had big plans of making something new and exciting every week. I think I have done that! I have had something cool and new to write about for a little over a year now. I think it might be time to take a break from it though. The house projects take a lot more time to really create something I am happy with. Maybe I will start to use this as a place to store things as I come up with inspiration and when longer term projects get done.

I have crazy respect for some of the people I really idolize online who are able to put out new and creative stuff all on their own. These are really awesome folks and you should be checking them out!

I have found a new person to idolize online, and that's Bob from I Like To Make Stuff.
I am just so inspired by these really creative people doing amazing things. I am going to keep working at doing my own amazing things, I just might have to work a little slower than them.

 Keep making cool stuff!
Until next time,
JoshPrime

Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Kit!

Hey reader! I know I promised you cotton candy making, but this post is time sensitive! This is kind of a unique post today. I am writing about my experience making the Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Ki t . What is Foodstirs? Foodstirs is the new box dessert delivery company owned by Sarah Michelle Gellar of Buffy fame. All of the ingredients in a Foodstirs box are ethically sources, non GMO, and organic. The recipes are also designed to be fun and easy to make with kids. JustLeah and I host the weekly Buffy podcast, J and L Watches , and when we saw that this product existed we thought it would be super awesome to give it a try. We are pretty much children ourselves, so this could be a great project! We were not paid or compensated in any way for this review, but if Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to send us more donuts, we are very cool with that. Anyway, even the packaging is adorable! It didn't come with quite everything we needed to make donuts. We needed to provide ...

Ecto Cooler Fail

Hey Reader, Not all projects can be successful. I remember this blog started with a failed attempt to make a pumpkin shaped puppet (that really I think I can do better this time, but thats a blog post for another day). Recently, I have been on a 90s kick. I can remember an employee I had once sharing feedback with me that it was hard to relate in conversations with me because I talked about the 80s so much. I told him he was a child and that I was, in fact, talking about the 90s. Suffice to say, this 90s obsession has been happening for a while now. I really wanted to make some Hi-C Ecto Cooler. If you are not as obsessed with "the eighties" as me: 1. What is wrong with you? and 2. Here is an explanation of Hi-C Ecto cooler . Ecto Cooler was a drink produced by Hi-C in a brand deal promoting the The Real Ghostbusters TV series from 1986. It was actually just a repurposing of their Citrus Cooler flavor, but this time dyed a funky green color like the character of Slimer fr...

New House Series - Media Room Pt 1 - Walls Pt 3

Ok Reader, I gave you a short break from my constant wall talk. Now we are back at it full force. Here is the situation: Wall smoothing has been an insane amount of work. All that talk of rue-ing aside, I have enjoyed it for the most part. However, the epic tale of wall smoothing is about to take a turn. It finally appeared as if the wall smoothing was done and I started thinking paint colors. Since this room is designed to look like its night, I wanted a dark blue. It isn't a huge room, so I had to think about not making it too cave-like. I happen to like caves myself, but that is a whole separate conversation. I settled on a pretty bright blue color. My thought was this: if the color is really bright, that will compensate for it being a room that rarely has the lights on (since its for movies of course). I bought a tester of paint. I have some questions for the painters among us. There are whole aisles in the home improvement stores of paint. I went wandering down their to ...
