Favorite Video of the Week comes from the craft dungeon. Prior to moving the crafting area upstairs, Mrs. Like It Or Not had her craft space in the basement. This creation sprung out of two accidents from September 2019. This is the Official Gravity Inspector T-shirt. WHAT TO EXPECT |
INFORMATION ABOUT THE SHIRT | On the front the shirt reads, I get knocked down, but I get up again. On the back, it reads Official Gravity Inspector.
This shirt was made using the Cricut Maker and the Cricut Easy Press 2 (size 12x10). First thing that was needed was to design the shirt with Cricut Design Space. Then the Iron On Vinyl was chosen. For this design, Cricut Iron On White was used. Cricut Maker cuts the design (it's important to reverse your Iron On when doing an Iron On Shirt). A weeding tool (used one by Cricut) was used to remove the not important parts from the design. After figuring out shirt placement, it was time to figure out Easy Press temp. According to the temperature guide Cricut has for their Easy Press and the fabric, iron on vinyl, the temp for the Easy Press is 300F degrees. After pressing briefly the area the design would go, the design was carefully place onto the shirt. First time set was 30 seconds of light pressure and then 15 seconds on the back side of the shirt. The process was repeated for the phrase that went on the back of the shirt. An important step for us was to cover the design with a teflon sheet to protect the design and the Cricut Easy Press 2. STORY TIME FROM Mrs. Like It | I slipped in the tub back on September 13, 2019. That fall was caught on camera because it was a segment I did on cleaning the oven racks. That video will be featured briefly on either the Home Page or the About page. Unfortunately that wasn't my only fall in September 2019. I took a bad tumble out of bed. I wish I had an interesting story about how that happened, but the truth is I was on the phone with my best friend in bed. I rolled over and unfortunately there was no bed left and I landed hard on my left side I realized laying there right away this was more than my normal clumsy fall. Mr. Like it came running as I said to my best friend, "OUCH, but I have got to go." He tried to get me up, but I wanted to check myself out for injuries before I suddenly got up. I told him to go ahead and get an ice pack for my calf because I knew I'd need one. After a short time, I called my best friend back to let him know I was living. However, I knew that we were discussing the ER. We discussed the pros and cons of the ER and decided it was better to go ahead and go since it was a Sunday and likely would get packed later. I'm glad I had my own ice pack because it kept my pain numb. The nurses were actually really helpful. I pressed the button one time and a nurse was there in less than a minute (needed to use the bathroom badly). Xrays confirmed no breaks from my hip down to my ankle. Strain & Muscle Contusion was the likely diagnosis. I never say yes to any pain medicine or muscle relaxers, but I said yes on this day. This has to land in my top two fall hurts. I had to use crutches and actually had to take the medicine more frequently than I thought. It was not fun. I decided I needed a shirt to wear in case I needed to leave the house with the crutches so people would realize that I was just a clutz. I made the shirt on September 25, 2019. It's one of my favorite shirts that I still wear a year later. I was back to moving around pretty normally on the day of October 3rd, but it apparently was too much because by left leg & right hip would spike up to a level 7 or 8 so I had to take Tylenol on October 4th to take the edge off. I think I was without pain though by October 5, 2019. PS: I am not a medication taker for pain so if it was so bad that I needed it I was gonna take it. BEHIND THE SCENES | We used a Canon 80D to film this video. We used Open Shot Editor for editing the film together. We used Canva to create the thumbnail, captions & cards within the video. This video actually wasn't put up on Our YouTube Channel until August 20, 2020 because it was difficult to look at the footage remembering how painful it was shortly after it happened. It worked out in our favor though because by the time it was edited together we had learned quite a bit about editing footage together for a video including how to crop a video and put an image behind it. This may have been the first video where Mrs. Like It discovered the effects for text and used mostly Canva for text. We uploaded the basic thumbnail without Mrs. Like It's image into TubeBuddy and then enhanced Mrs Like's image by Tube Buddy for a better thumbnail.
