I'm back!

It's been a long time since I have blogged. I can't really give one reason why I quit. I guess I got out of the habit and life kept "happening," so I was preoccupied.

I have kept busy with the same interests and the addition of two new ones: Netflix (streamed through Roku box) and the Wii. Oh my! The former may explain some of my absence. I love watching trashy tv. It is escapism at its' finest! The wii is fun too. I love to box. I think Kevin is *slightly* worried about my passion for punching!

Here are some things I have been working on:

Alright...switching gears....
Does anyone out there read Readymade? I used to like this magazine. I don't know what happened to it. Maybe I changed? All I can think is "WTF happened to DIY" when I see magazine covers like this one:
Yes, the lamp base is made from a book.... Imagine dusting this thing. Or imagine the heat from the bulb hitting that paper. Wonder what that paper is treated with? I bet you could shellac it for future generations.
Yeah, this is one of the best projects of the year. Gah.
Am I wrong on this? Do you like it?

Good to be back. I will try to update more frequently.

I like your Super Bunny creation.

I like the book lamp idea. Also old toasters make nice letter holders.

KW,
Agreed. And in favor of consistency I think you should plug them it in.

I used to like that magazine too. Now it should be called Tacky Made.

Love the little piggy! Glad you are back. Guess I need to get my butt into gear and post.
