another goal for this year is to make a house for my ref magnet collection. ever since we took away the magnets from our refrigerator in time for our inquisitive nephew's arrival, it hasn't gone back up where it should be. instead, they had been replaced by new ones purchased by me or given by my friends from their latest travels.
i was pretty excited this weekend because i finally found time to create the house for my magnets. my plan for the weekend was to purchase my galvanized iron (cut in a specified length and width) and paints. on friday night, i bought cartolinas and a world map (which was never punched in the counter so i had to print one at home!). i thought moving the world map picture to a bigger scale was easy but hell, no! i don't even know how to draw! but i guess i learned a thing or two by watching craft shows on tv. what i did was draw a grid in the picture and cartolina and copy the picture that way, corner by corner, box by box! :) that is lesson number one in drawing for me! :)
did you also know that before painting anything on a surface, you have to paint a primer?! i didn't know that but luckily, my friend bong informed me so i was also able to buy that one at the hardware together with the galvanized sheet. unfortunately, my project will have to start on sunday since the shop will only be able to deliver the sheet after four o'clock saturday afternoon.
