Adult coloring

I have recently taken up a new hobby of adult coloring. If you haven't heard of it you should try it! It helps me to relieve some anxiety and distress a little. It also helps me feel closer to my dad because I used to color with him. 

Here are some pictures of what o have been working on. I have aquired a mixed collection or colored pencils, paint, markers, and gel pens for my coloring. 

Pictures from the book Manic Botanic.

Maybe I will post more reviews of coloring books/pencils etc in the future. Please comment your thoughts on adult coloring and share any books you recommend. 

Harbor freight 25 piece storage system review

I recently purchased some new storage containers from harbor freight online. If you have read any of my past blog posts, I have been pretty satisfied with my purchases from them in the past. This time my experience was fairly neutral. 

I will show you some pictures of my purchase. Sorry the images are great the weather is pretty dark right now in Vermont. 

The container comes nicely shrink wrapped. The larger container hold small individual containers that you can fill with small bits that can be removed and moved around. This a great concept when coordinating beads like I do in my jewelry designs. 

I have filled one of my containers with some Jew beads that I purchased from Dollarbead.com. If you want to see what I purchased please check out my YouTube channel Sarahssalvageshop. 

I just wanted to note some of the flaws in this product. In the picture above I tried to show that one of the containers was dented. I only found one dented container in this set. This wasn't a big deal to me so I won't let this affect my over all thoughts on this product. 

The thing that really bothered me was that a few of the containers don't snap closed properly. My boyfriend noted that some of the containers were warped or bent slightly where they clap. 

Some of the containers can be manipulated and bent to a position where they can then be snapped closed. I had only one container in this set that I couldn't modify until I could use it. That container was in essence useless unless I can eventually fix it. 

Over all I would give this container a 3/5 star rating. I would not recommend this item to a friend until it's flaws were fixed by the manufacturer. 

I will say that if you are in need of a container I would recommmend the larger divided plastic container from harbor freight over this style. 

Thanks for reading I hope to post more blogs soon.
