long time gone

for the last two months i've been working full time instead of part in the library, and sometimes things get kind of slow. lately i've been looking at some craft blogs in my spare time and i've learned a couple things (sometimes i learn a lot more in the summer than i do during school. at least, useful stuff.):

first off, my mom is way cooler than these people. she does crafty cute stuff that's actually practical. and she's an awesome boy scout. save your life, build you a fort, and make you dinner, she could.

second, being crafty is way fun, but kind of expensive if you don't have the stuff. we revamped my grandma's dresser this week. before it was a lovely olive green with bluebirds. three cans of spray paint later...

we still need to line the insides of the drawers, but it'll have to wait until we have more money. unless someone wants to donate some wicked awesome paper to the cause.




finally, it has nothing to do with craft blogs, but jeff flies out tonight for england. wish him luck and love, ya? peace out, all.

  1. I kinda liked the olive green w/birds look. The white does look much cleaner and more modern though. I love using old (free) stuff too. Joseph and I pulled some carpet and a dresser out of the dumpster the other day.

  2. I love the dresser! Old pieces have so much personality and how fun to think your grandma used it! Good on you! Old wrapping paper works for drawer liners if you have any old rolls or pieces lying around. Even brown paper grocery bags! Your mom has more practical knowledge than almost anyone on the planet, I dare say! Learn what you can from her & you'll be forever grateful! I'm assuming Jeff got off okay. Can't wait till you come play with me! Ill check in with you. Love you buckets!
