My shoulder has been bugging me. Right now it's just a twinge that's come back to bother me, but in the height of the problem, I didn't have full range of motion. The common denominator in these "episodes"? Screen printing. That's right, it's a dangerous sport. Make sure to do your warm up stretches and calisthenics before trying this at home, folks.
And poor Beth. That girl has washed out so many screens that her hands are chapped and cut. The cuts are filled with screen printing ink! That's what I call commitment.
Biz seems to be hopping around healthy, but she missed this conversation so I'll let her chime in. It wouldn't surprise me if she strained a toe muscle or something, this screen printing endeavor works muscles you never knew you had. Actually no, that would be Beth, for her acrobatic screen printing method could pull a lower muscle. Must capture that on film...
Jamie is also suffering from the same type of shoulder injury! Now, for the record, she did call me and Beth a name, gasp!, and said that she *slept* wrong! What was the insult again? I believe it was "weenie." Oh sticks and stones, JP, sticks and stones. And I have certainly proven my ballet teacher wrong about "Grace", I am certain I can show her that a 'weenie' I am not.
So my idea for Friday's gathering? Craftastica Healing Spa. Moisture infusions, massage therapy, and shoot while we're at it, facials and loofa scrubbing. We still need a babysitter to watch the children in a secure, sound proof area in the "east wing" of my house. Ok ok, we still need an "east wing." If you are looking for something to do on Friday, be sure to come and hang out with us, we'll put you to work, er...uhm... I mean have a great time!

Does a headache count as an injury? I spent 3 and a half hours on Gimp (free version of Photoshop/ Illustrator-esque program) last night trying to bend some text onto an image. After watching a tutorial from a kid, that's right a kid, that can't be older than 12, the text still would not print curved on the banner. Hence, I have a wounded ego also. I'm looking forward to spa Friday, any willing participants could surely benefit from Craftastic giveaways also, after all we dig fair trade!
ReplyDeleteOk girls, seriously, you're not going out like that, are you?! A spa day for your crafting "injury"...oh good grief, I may have to start another craft club...one that's not for the faint of heart! I'll call it Craftastica 2.0...or Craftamyassoffica, An Artists Co-Op for the Non-Weenies!
ReplyDeleteYa'll go 'head and have your spa day, you'll find me in the west wing, crafting my ass off...pulled muscles and papercuts be damned!
And "Grace"...I can't even tell you tempted I am to post that um, "graceful" video of you doing your thang on the dance mat. We could put an end to this debate once and for all.
:-D Love you women, crafting injuries and all! xo!
