I’m still on DIY speed “slow-mo”. Today is Week 9 of being sick. Thankfully I’m on antibiotics finally, which are helping, but I’m still wicked tired and still have a low-grade sore throat by afternoon, which is making me wonder if this infection will ever go away… I was able to work a full day today, which is definitely an improvement over last week!
I had a helper for my project today. Darwin the overlord/Halloween cat in his favorite spot inside the kitchen pot/pan cabinet above the counter:
This project was inspired by wine. For the past few months I’ve been logging everything I consume into MyFitnessPal. It’s really annoying to measure 1 cup of wine into a glass. Or 1 cup of milk. Or juice. So I decided to paint a ring around the outside of my favorite wine glasses. I used regular acrylic paint instead of glass paint, so I have no idea if the paint will wash off in the dishwasher [probably]:
But whatever. It was a fun, easy project. And if the paint washes off, I’ll redo them with a different color. I chose orange for the first go-around because the inside of our glass cabinet is orange and we also have many orange kitchen doohickeys.
I grabbed my 6 wine glasses, carefully measured one cup of room-temperature water into them and gently painted a ring around the water line:
I let them dry upside down [after pouring the water out some of it started running down the outside of the glasses – gah!]:
Not too bad! The color totally clashes with my favorite [chilled] Yellowtail Sangria, but who cares – it’s wine 🙂
This didn’t work. After one run through the dishwasher the paint completely came off!!!
Get better! How frustrating for you to still be sick. I hope the nightmare ends soon. As for the glasses even glass paint washes off in the dishwasher; you would do best to hand wash them. It’s a cute idea.
Thanks for that, Jessica, I think hand washing will be key. I need to do all 6 over again b/c there’s not a speck of paint left.
Glad you are improving, although slowly. You’ve been sick a long time, so take baby steps!
Yes, way too long!!! Probably have to get tonsils out.
Great idea!
Thanks, D’Arcy 🙂
Easy and fun project. As you said, if the color washes off, you can just try another.
Yep! I think I’ll try green this weekend.
