Today

NOT found yesterday.
Yesterday was one of those days. One of those tiring, messy, hot, aching, emotional, hormonal days where at the end you fall onto your bed and are out before you can manage to turn off a light (that would be at 7PM for me last night).

Today I am determined to have a better one. Except I can't remember what I was going to blog about so I am going to have to wing it once again.

One of the things that happened yesterday is that my floor mirror, that I have been 'making' for the last 4 months broke. It's my own darn fault and I could shoot myself for the waste of it.

See, what happened is I finally found some wood to put on the back of the thing and frame it, so after the kids went to bed I immediately took the opportunity to liquid nail the mirror onto the wood.

I set the mirror face down on the floor and then stood up to grab the screw driver.

That's when I lost my balance.

My foot instinctively shot out to catch myself... and I stepped on the mirror.


POP!

That was it, no more mirror.

I sadly set the mirror back against the wall (with help) and went and crashed on my bed. The last straw on a long, tiring day... it was safer to stick to my bed.

About an hour later I woke to find Ralexwin home and sitting next to me stroking my hair. That's what I love about him, he's so gentle and wonderful and there for me when I need him even if no words are spoken.

September will mark our 10th anniversary. I'm very excited and surprised by the passing of so much time. One full decade with the man I love!

To commemorate our wonderful time together I'll be doing a serious of 10 posts regarding our romance (I'm sure he'll hate me for this).

These posts will be in stark contrast to my 'Monthly Theme' topic which is 'Domestic Violence.' Starting tomorrow and throughout all of September I'm going to be talking about this very important subject.

I hope you all will take the time to read the posts I have lined up, each and everyone one of them will be from someone who has personally dealt with domestic violence and has graciously agreed to share such a personal, emotion and difficult part of who they are.

Now... my belly is calling to me and my teeth are starting to itch, I think I'd better go make myself presentable for my 'better than yesterday' day.

As always, thanks for reading my randomness.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
