Been waiting for creative inspiration to strike and, thanks to my fourth grade teacher, I’ve always been a haiku fan, so here goes …
It’s your job, should you choose to accept it.
Boss of Me
Time Out
It’s been a little over a year since I’ve posted a single word and as it turns out it was just what I needed to find the best way to work through a variety of life events that were thrown my way.
It was interesting to learn that I had to muster up the same amount of courage and intention, no matter the simplicity or severity of what I was facing, while continuing to trust and truly believe that the universe would abide to my intended result if I did too.
The Right Tools for the Job
Tools & Adhesives
#1 Wheeled Tile & Glass Nippers have a set of disc shaped wheels on spring-loaded handles used to cut tile and glass. Replacement wheels are sold separately.
#2 Tile Cutters are for thicker tiles, plates and crockery. Better tile nippers have tungsten-carbide cutting edges and spring-loaded handles.
#3 Glass Cutters practice makes perfect and is absolutely epic when it works.
#4 Weldbond Adhesive – Non-toxic white glue, safe for indoor use/kids and dries clear in most circumstances.
#5 Clear e6000 Adhesive – Toxic adhesive, clear is my preference, use in well ventilated area, great for glass and not for kids.
#6 Mastic is for tiling dry areas, sets faster than Thinset and has an odor that lingers.
#7 Tile Thinset is used for areas where water is present, it sets slower than mastic and is harder to remove if you change your mind.
#8 Grout comes with sand and without sand. Use unsanded grout for any gaps less than ⅛” inch. Always seal grout.
Always good to have nearby:
