I think I'm smart sometimes

There is no vent or fan in my bathroom, I shower with the door open but the walls still become damp from the steam. I hung this picture up last week with a 3M hook, but all the steam and drippy walls was too much for it and the picture fell off the wall when I was showering and thought somebody was breaking in to kill me. Putting a nail in the wall is not an option and I want the picture there to cover up the marks on the wall. So, I am going to use a 3M hook still, but with a little extra protection from all the wetness. This is my solution

Today is No Un-birthday

4 years ago Honeysuckle Mulberry called me to say she that her baby was now in the world. Feels more like 4 months ago...so hard to grasp that she is a big girl because sometimes when I think of her, I picture a baby. Anyway, Happy Birthday K Bean!

Getting Excited for Halloween #5

Just finished the pill box hat for the Jackie O costume. Mango is going wear it tonight and next weekend Gooseberry will. I did while Kumquat took a nap, the entire thing took roughly 2 hours and I hot glued my phone to the floor in the process.

Of Course This Would Happen

Down in Milwaukee, hitting up some shops in the Third Ward with Kumquat Desert fig, we passed an antique shop, I took one step in and didn't want to go in because it was too loud, but Kumquat coaxed me into checking it out. By the time we reached the third and final floor I had fallen in love with roughly everything insight, as we were about to make out exit and venture back downstairs, what should I see but an end table, with handles that match my desk! (My Desk) Of course I would find them just 2 days after I purchased knobs for the doors. 

Getting Excited for Halloween #4

I can not wait for tomorrow! We kicked off the weekend with a good old fashioned haunted house tour!

Getting Excited for Halloween #3

The first Halloween at 11OH!7, we dressed up 2 nights, Thursday and Friday. First night I was a golfer, mainly because I had a skirt that I really wanted to wear. Dewberry and I kicked butt in beer pong that night and the next morning I went to class rather hung over. So hung over in fact that when I got home from class I went and slept in Kiwi Oil palm's bed with our friend because I didn't feel like making the effort to go upstairs into my own bed.
The second night I fulfilled a life long dream and wore a Princess Jasmine costume, the top was made by Snow berry Star apple, and it was a glorious evening. I saw many other Disney characters out that night and took every opportunity I could to get a photo with them.

My Desk

I found this antique desk 2 summers ago, it matches my antique dresser and nightstand perfectly. It was in very rough shape when I found it, one drawer was missing and all of the remaining drawers were broken. My dresser was missing a handle, so I got rid of the 2 drawers on the left hand side, using one of the handles on my dresser. So now I only had 2 handles left and potentially 4 drawers that would need them. I decided to have a door put on where the 3 drawers on the left had been and have the remaining drawer replaced with a new one, thus only needing 2 handles. Perfect. So it was sent to a wood shop (one that I used to work in, fun fact) to have the door and drawer made. But when I got the desk back it had 2 doors! I am all about the matching handle ordeal, and having 2 doors now required me to have 3. This was a serious crisis for me. After my mom told me I was overreacting with the whole "crisis", I decided that 2 knobs will be put on the doors (well the desk came back from the shop with knobs on the doors and a handle on the drawer, they matched each other but not the rest of my furniture which was a big part of the reason I threw a fit) and 1 of the handles will go on the drawer and the other handle will be kept in case of an emergency. I have decided to ask people on Facebook to vote on a photo of the 2 knob options with the handle. Whichever one people think matches better, I will purchase. All that's left to do is to paint and to replace the handles. One day this beauty will be complete and I will be a happy woman.
