If you are addicted to success you most certainly are addicted to fear too. Why? Because they are a direct consequence of each other. When you achieve success, it’s because you have taken actions and broken through fears that were holding you back. Every success you have comes from breaking a fear you held onto. […]

Self-forgiveness is the process by which we release ourselves for the judgments that we hold against ourselves, because when we accept that we are the ones holding the judgment, we also see that we are the ones who can release it, and we are the ones who can set ourselves free.

Random musings about stamping, mixed-media and the artistry found in everyday life

A US government report also revealed environmental triggers can be seen in the first eight years of a child's life - such as a parents' divorce, aggression problems and moving to a new home.

First 6 months of soberity are challenging. At that time, remember why you started this journey and why it is worth it!

The chart above is simplified, there are more options - such as marine vinyl, and sign shop vinyl, and they sometimes have numbers like 751, etc. HTV comes in sports-flex, stretch, and more. But for most projects, we are going to use just four types of vinyl: HTV (for on fabric. ) 651 (permanent, non fabric projects) 631 (temporary, non fabric projects) and printable iron on transfer paper (for Print Then Cut projects) And maybe some contact paper for stencils, or for transfer tape. I love the Dollar Tree Contact paper. ============ I try not to pay more than $2-$3 a square foot, including shipping, for htv. Black and White I typically purchase for half that - $1.50 a square foot, other colors typically cost me a bit more.For "regular" vinyl (not htv ) I try not to pay more than 50 cents a square foot. Do not forget to calculate any shipping costs into your costs! I've never found it worthwhile to shop anywhere other than Amazon, personally, because of the shipping costs. I know you can often get free shipping from other sites if you spend a certain amount... but I don't like to fuss with that. ================ Cold Peel Vs Hot Peel When purchasing new htv, read the instructions and see if that brand is meant to be peeled when it is hot, or after it has cooled a bit. This varies by band, and sometimes also by the type of vinyl. =================== Quick Links For My Favorites: Caregy is is one of my favorite htv brands. Inexpensive, GREAT quality. HTVRont - My new favorite. The most inexpensive I've found, AND it comes with a free weeding tool in many of the rolls! The last pack I purchased came with a free mat too. Craftables is another new favorite from 2020. This comes in 12x12 sheets It's a little more expensive than HTVront and Caregy, but they sometimes have specific colors that the other two do not have. (And it's still typically cheaper than Siser) Transwonder HTV - Black, White, & Red. $1.40 a sq ft for htv - was my go to for the basics, and I still use it a lot because I have a lot of it on hand. These days, I'd look to see what HTVront and Caregy have, then choose based on which brand had the best price that week. I like all three brands. Frisco Craft Matte Black Permanent Adhesive Vinyl (30 foot roll for anywhere from $13-$17, price fluctuates) I love this matte black, And it's inexpensive. Avery Iron On Transfer For Darks (even if it's a light shirt) Don't forget to check the Dollar Tree too! It's hit or miss at our local stores, some have it, some do not. I love their faux leather, it's lightweight and cuts beautifully. And their vinyl has held up fine for me - on the few things I have used it on. ============= Free Printable Vinyl Tracker - To track your purchases and prices Find the free Vinyl Tracker Printable here: https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2020/12/just-right-click-and-save-as-for-list.html ================= Siser HTV Reference Chart ================= This chart from Siser will give you an idea of how many different kinds of htv there are, just from one brand. I have heard really good things about the Siser Stretch (especially for women's t-shirts are tighter and stretch across the chest area), but I have never used it myself. Find the full chart here: http://www.siserna.com/files/material-reference-chart.pdf ====================== https://amzn.to/2XkQcnl Avery Iron On Tansfer paper is what I use for print then cut t-shirt designs.

MEANING: Symbol of Al-Anon/Alateen, a 12-step recovery program that has been offering strength and hope for friends and families of problem drinkers since 1951. The Al-Anon study book, Paths to Recovery, states this about their symbol: “Al-Anon’s logo is a triangle with a circle inside. The three sides of the triangle symbolize our three legacies: Recovery through acceptance of the Steps, Unity through acceptance of the Traditions, and Service through acceptance of the Concepts.  All three sides are necessary for the triangle to remain a triangle, just as a three-legged stool needs all three legs in order to stand. The circle within the triangle has been described by some Al-Anon members as a circle of welcome that carries the Al-Anon message of hope to the many families and friends who are living in or have lived with the disease of alcoholism. In this simple symbol, we find represented the spiritual principles that unite us in our common bond; recovery from the effects of the family disease of alcoholism.” For more information on Al-Anon/Alateen, please visit: http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/ From this site: There is no magic formula that enables you to help someone stop—or cut back—on his or her drinking. Alcoholism is a complex problem, with many related issues. But Al‑Anon can help you learn how to cope with the challenges of someone else’s drinking. It may be that you could help matters by changing some of your own behaviors that make things worse. It may be possible for you to find a healthier way to respond to these challenges. Again, there are no easy answers.  But Al‑Anon meetings offer the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others who have faced similar problems. While simple problems may have simple solutions, the solution to complex problems is more difficult to explain. Al‑Anon simplifies a complex problem by suggesting a “One Day at a Time” approach, which takes things one step at a time. At every Al‑Anon meeting, you can hear people explain how Al‑Anon worked for them. That may be the best place to start to learn about Al‑Anon—One Day at a Time. Al‑Anon members come to understand problem drinking as a family illness that affects everyone in the family. By listening to Al‑Anon members speak at Al‑Anon meetings, you can hear how they came to understand their own role in this family illness. This insight put them in a better position to play a positive role in the family’s future. Some research shows that when problem drinkers enter a recovery program, their chances for success are improved when they are supported by family members who are in a family recovery program such as Al‑Anon. THE CARVING: Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed and carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12 inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders etc.), we use no laser’s, CNC machines or computer operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands and eyes… We cut the 2 dimensional blanks with scroll and jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools and disc grinders. The 80 grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks and gouges from the carving tools, and finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 then 220 grit finishes the smoothing and polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain and the color.
