Key Questions to Ask Yourself

Common answers to yesterday's question include improving your lifestyle, doing something you love, to make ends meet, to move into a dream career, etc.

There is no correct answer as this is about dreams/aspirations that you have! The clearer your reason is the more likely you will succeed as you move ahead with your business.

Unclogging Spray Can Nozzles

Here is a handy crafting tip I use to unclog spray can nozzles.

Almost all spray paints, lacquers, sealants will clog if the tip is not cleared properly. Lately I have been using cans that are capable of spraying even when upside down. This means I can not clear the nozzle by turning upside down and spraying out some propellant. Since I rarely use a can all at once it can be inconvenient.

A new toy

Most crafters would have no need for this toy, but many artists use them on big jobs. A cement mixer! I am toying with a few product lines but the main purpose was to create custom concrete work around my yard and home.

Concrete is turning into the new granite. There are so many techniques and styles that can be obtained through the use of concrete. Take a trip to a Disney theme park and you will see what I mean. Fake trees, statues, sidewalks, benches, trails, rides. Counter tops in homes and fancy pools in the yards.
