I'm going to make a topiary

JennaGlatzer · Jul 12, 2006

There's a craft class at my library tonight, to learn how to make topiary luminaries (flowery things with candles on top). This is the kind of thing I always look at when the library bulletin comes around and think, "How nice," but never actually do.

I mean, I never actually do *anything* other than sit here at the computer, and go to the movies once every 3 or 4 months. I don't have any hobbies or social activities.

But today! Today it all changes. For I, Jenna "hook me up with a glue gun" Glatzer, done made myself a reservation in the class for tonight.

I'm so the new Martha Stewart in the making.

I'm contemplating wearing a dress.

Oh. I thought you were going to start a hat collection.

My internal tongue twisted around that in the most unusual way

Good for you!

Man, the last time I wore a dress, it was to a funeral.

You know, Glue Gun Glatzer does have a nice ring to it... have fun!

If you're going to be playing with hot glue, I'd suggest blue jeans, a T-shirt, and closed toe shoes. Wear the dress when you're showing off your finished creation. Hot glue is a pain to get off of nice materials, and if you're working around heat you shouldn't wear synthetics.

If you're looking for a hobby, might I suggest polymer clay? There're all sorts of things you can make from jewelry to sculpture (like my orange cat avatar). Let me know if you want more info. Polymer clay and writing are my two favorite pastimes.

Happy gluing!

Ah, so the "Crafting" phase of your pregnancy is kicking in. Cool. Just remember when you have the urge to hand make the entire bedding set for your baby...resist! I learned that the hard way.

Seriously, go have fun while you have the time and the energy to do it.

We have a great deal in common, Jenna. You aren't just going to a topiary class tonight, and you don't just want to emulate Martha Stewart; you're aiming for Domestic Goddess. You think BIG! I love that :Hug2:

For example . . . when I bake bread, I don't just bake it, I create three dimensional edible sculptures!

So does the Martha Stewart-ness include going to jail?

Because that'd be unfortunate...

writerterri · Jul 12, 2006

I agree with Elin. Like Sara, I baked and made salsa, which I couldn't eat very much of cause of the heart burn. I was even making food for the neighbors. I'd show up at the door with some food and they'd laugh and rave after they ate it.

We ate some good food while momma was pregnant.

Go have fun and enjoy pregnanthood.

I'd rather like to see an Apprentice show with Jenna playing a mix between Martha Stewart and Donald Trump.

Cath · Jul 12, 2006

Just don't spend too much time smelling the glue...

And twist your hair up in a clip too?

My first thought when I saw the title for this thread was garden topiary like bushes pruned into animal shapes. I was having fun imagining Jenna out there with garden shears and a chain saw. :e2chain:

The Shining, anyone?

JennaGlatzer · Jul 12, 2006

I wore overalls, and MAN are my topiary luminaries tacky! Anthony met me at the library (adorable thing) and wanted to know if I really had to bring those things in the house. Also, I burned my index finger with the glue gun.

It was still a pretty good distraction.

I was never good with my hands that's why I write instead of doing craft thingies. I envy you....

So no Martha Stewart?

You know you want to post pictures.

I smell another auction coming on. I like tacky stuff. Honest, just ask my neighbors.

Unique · Jul 12, 2006

Doesn't anyone but me find the thought of Jenna with a loaded glue gun frightening?

GPatten · Jul 12, 2006

Yah. Post some pictures.

I don’t know what a dang topiary is.
