earring holder

colin is constantly yelling at me because my shit is ALWAYS lying around EVERYWHERE.  i have to say, i can't blame him (there colin, i said it.).  im taking small steps to rid myself of my hoarder tendencies, get rid of crapola and organize what i am going to keep.  therefore, i started small and made myself a an earring holder using a broken screen (thanks to belle the dog) and an old picture frame.






final pic:


things i learned:

1.) you need to sand any finished material or else the paint will just fall off...specifically when you remove blue painter's tape.

2.) when you use blue painter's tape, you need to make sure it is tightly secured in all the grooves or else it will bleed.

3.) i need to stop buying/making turquoise and red earrings.

my garden is working part 2




the daisies are a little out of control and taking over my roses...the salvia def needs to be cut back too!  i'll get to that some day...

ain't that the truth

sack it to me




next project in the works...my sissy asked me to make her this sack dress.  it retails for $280 because it's "handmade in brooklyn" and therefore better than everything else in the world because it's made from brooklyn water, organic, vegan, non-mainstream linen and a touch of a hipster.  Mine retails for $2.80.

i drink too much wine...




...but might as well make a project out of it!  you're standard DIY corkboard made out of wine corks.  just take out the glass to a frame and glue away...gorilla glue worked like a charm! (sorry my bestie works for them so of course I need to plug their greatness).
