New crafty!

Exciting crafty things! I bought one of those crystal art kits (it was on sale for $5) because it was a unicorn…and cheap.

I mentioned it was $5 right?

Anyways, I’d seen those around since covid when it became popular, but had too many crafty things at home to do so never bought one.

Y’all.

It’s a cross-stitch in another form.

SO mindless, with repetitive movements and different colors to work one at a time.

Loved it!

My back hurt a little until I stopped slouching, but that’s my bad.

Here are the pics! (I actually got them this time!)

Only took me 10 pieces to remember to take pics!
Tiny bottle!

It’s a little hard to see, but I’m working on the second color here. The leftover from the first color is in the tiny bottle (I’ve since bought a different crystal keeper) and the color I was working on is in the little lasagna pan.

They escape too easily and I found that a slightly larger container made it easier to grab them with the applicator. It also made it easier to shake them right side up.

Making progress, but fish sticks and fries was for supper!
Fabulous!

After taking a supper break, I ended up finishing this in about 3hrs. Give or take.

I was really happy when I finished because it was so mindless I just let myself zone out. Cleansing the mental pallet, as it were.

I don’t know about other kits, but this particular crystal one has a built in stand on the back you just pull out and slot into place.

This is now sitting on top of a bookshelf. Once I get my new bookshelves and things get reorganized for space, I’ll make sure to place it in a shelf with a unicorn book.

I actually don’t think I have any at the moment.

Thankfully!

Sherrilyn (Kenyon) McQueen has a new series coming out that does in fact have unicorns as main characters so I’ll be good!

Ta for now!!
