Core Chaos & Crafty Apples

Dia Daoibh!

Well now, hasn’t it been some week? Between the whirlwind of emotions, sleep doing its usual disappearing act, and Autism taking the wheel while ADHD quietly sulks in the corner, let’s just say my kitchen presses got the full “Wendy Works” treatment. There's now a brand new streamlined system in place for when the dishwasher gets unloaded – colour-coded, shelf-aligned, and possibly requiring a user manual. But hey, the mugs are happy.

I’ve also switched over to night shifts for a while – figured since sleep had clocked out, I might as well clock in. Four nights back-to-back… so I’ll be off to bed shortly. Just don’t ask if I’ve remembered how to human during daylight hours.

Now, onto something far juicier – my card!  I whipped up a wee number featuring some dinky die-cut apples that I “borrowed” (read: plundered with no shame) from the stash. They're perched on foam pads for that bouncy 3D pop – just the thing to make it look like the apples are actually trying to escape. Can’t say I blame them. Especially after reading the sentiment… let’s just say it hits a bit too close to home. Definitely one for the ‘laugh or cry’ drawer! Oh, and I embellished the wee hearts with some irridecent glitter.



Onto a few challenges:
Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers #262 - R is for Rude
Carlin’s Challenge #82 – Yummy, that’s tasty
Farmquest General Store Challenge #28 Anything goes and/or country theme goes
Allsorts #824 Anything Goes
Simply Clean and Simple - May 2025 - Clean and simple (optional: flowers) 
Fab n' Funky - 2W, #617 - Add a Sentiment 
CAS Colours & Sketches #560 - Sketch: 


Right, I’ve one more post to share before I shuffle off to bed for the night shift ;)

Sláinte,
Wendy R. 🍎

Remembering to human? Is that a thing? Are we supposed to be doing it??? LOL
I can totally identify with the clocking out of sleep - and I am intrigued by your new dishwasher system! Happy mugs are the best mugs :)

Kaihdin käyttömahdollisuudet said...

Kaihdin käyttömahdollisuudet ovat yllättävän monipuoliset ja ulottuvat paljon pidemmälle kuin pelkkään auringonsuojaukseen. Kaihtimia voidaan käyttää niin ikkunoiden peittämiseen, valon ja yksityisyyden säätelyyn kuin myös tilanjakajina esimerkiksi avokonttoreissa tai kotien monitoimitiloissa
