Ok, so, my sister and I hit up Value Village and we each got furniture. Mine needs some love, but it was 20 bucks, so I'm doing the thing.
I now have an attachment to go in my drill and turn it into a sander. (I'm super excited about that. I have LOTS of sandpaper in a lot of different grits.) I also have a lot more Unicorn Spit than I'll likely use but it felt important to get it. And a set of stencils with various shapes, mostly stars, moons of various types, constellations, a few bears (Ursa Major/Minor,) etc.
The colors I have are flat black, copper metallic, and then green, blue and purple in the sparkling colors. And I have my sister's leftover blue stain from IKEA. And a three day weekend.
Friends, I was SO PUMPED about getting to play with the dresser this weekend. Three days off and plenty of time to fuck with it in the carport.
It's raining. All weekend. And the carport doesn't really protect from water a lot, since two sides are open and the floor is wet from the cars. Goddammit.
So, I bought a raw-wood box from Michael's so that I can do it inside anyway. I do need to pick up some Rustoleum for a gloss coat, as Unicorn Spit is water-based and you have to protect it or all your hard work will go away.
(Frankly, a lot of this is because I am a slow knitter who gets bored, so I have a number of projects that I got bored with, it's an issue. It's dumb, knitting is somewhat ideal for listening to podcasts.)

I miss having enough spoons to do creative things.
