When insomnia hits=Make bows!

We had a pretty loud storm come through Northern California last night. Most people I know, LOVE storms and the rain because it lulls me to sleep. I, on the other hand, HATE rain storms because I can not sleep to save my life! So I pulled out my box of ribbon, and here's what I came up with last night.


Now only if I could do more productive things, such as organizing when I can't sleep....

Out with the old and in with the new

I began this blog with the intent of posting frequently and blogging on a weekly basis. I figured it wouldn't be too hard since I'm on my computer all the time anyways. It's a lot harder than I thought! Life gets in the way, and once again I can't finish what I start. But it's a new year and it's time for out with the old and in with the new. I am a notorious procrastinator, but this year I plan to change that.

I hit the ground running when school ended in December. I got a couple projects done that I had been putting off forever. Yay, Me!



These are the DVD towers that I salvaged from the hideous entertainment center we had a few years ago. My husband wanted to throw them away, but I just knew that I would do something (eventually!) with them. I don't have a picture of the old center, but believe me when I say it was hideous!

I sprayed them with Krylon Latex Spray Paint to match the valance that I sewed for his window. The paint has been AWESOME with not peeling from my son's constant use! So I turned these into this:



The empty space next to the tower is for the other tower which is done completely done drying yet. But I couldn't wait to show off my hard work. And as you can see, my son's room is done in Curious George. Do you know how hard it is to find Curious George things nowadays?? It is why I was forced to sew the valance. I still have a few other projects for his room that I need to finish during break and I'll post them as soon as I can.

I'll be linking my first blogged project to...
