What do you do with an old sub woofer?

Every Friday night the guys get together and play cards at my house. I usually play the sweet house wife...cook and serve food, make sure everyone has drinks, etc. After everyone is all settled I usually venture to my bedroom and watch a movie...boring!!! The solution, transform the guest bedroom/office/storage/dog room into my movie/gaming room. I turned the bed into a couch bed by shifting the already over-sized futon mattress to create a back cushion...the desk into an entertainment center by detaching the top shelving...I could go on but I don't want to bore you too much with the details.

Through all this rearranging, there was lots of throwing things away, including a sub woofer. When I looked at the room the next day, it was missing something...a table...so without further ado the Sub Woofer Undertaker table....


The sub woofer is the base (and still fully functional). The top is boards from the desk I took apart. With a little black spray paint, E600 glue, Mod Podge and an Undertaker poster......we have the coolest movie/gaming room table!!!

Why Wrist Warmers?

Every now and then I think, I should of listened to my mom and placed my tattoos better...spider and flames on the back of my calf, flames on my wrist....shoot who knew I would leave the world of radio and end up working for accountants?

Working in a professional office, the flame tattoo on my wrist has become the biggest inconvenience...needless to say, I wear a lot of long sleeves! I have though come up with a great solution, WRIST WARMERS!!







Not only are they fun and simple to make, they are cute to wear and even better allow me to wear short sleeves, hello freedom.

Where to Begin???

I don't quite know how to start this blog, so I guess I will just dive in with a little about me. I like to believe I am a free spirit. I moved to this wonderful island a few years ago and it was the best decision of my life. Without the stress of the busy city I moved from, I can spend time being creative with my crafts and relaxing in the quiet outdoors (inbetween calling for my dog and watching for bears). I have a wonderful husband, two pit bulls and a cat.
