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.
