Thread: POST WHORINGZ THREADZ!11!!1!one

I know you guys won't care, but here is my latest craft idea:

Probably use something else for the stems, but not sure yet.




I've been saving toilet paper rolls and cut a bunch of them up tonight.
I'm going to paint them, not sure what colors yet and then they will get mounted on a matte of some sort to use as wall decoration.

I wonder if it might make a decent garden decoration if you got some wide copper or aluminum pipe, cut donuts, and squoze in a vice to make ovals, then put it on a thin steel rod and hammered creases with a rawhide mallet, then soldered or epoxied them together.

It probably would, I'd do something like that for sure if I had the stuff laying around.
Good thinking!

Exactly Chris, it's a dream, a fantasy. I was kidding of course. -__-

And Danielle, do yall have a Kirkland's or Home Goods store up there??

I've heard of Kirklands, but don't have either around here.
As far as craft stores, we have Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joann Fabric Store are the big ones.

Nah, the two stores I mentioned are home decor places. I think you'd like them.

Ah, see I didn't even know what they were lol
We did go by an Ikea in Cincinnati that I wanted to stop at, but nope. lol

there are 3 rules of home decor, never enter a ikea.

1) their stuff sucks. its all trash. really it is.

2) once you walk in you will see the whole store, its a maze of circles that you cant wait to get off.

3) see rule one.

Yeah. I love buying crap for the house. I just have to refrain from pack ratting. I like plants though, real and artificial. So my house will be a jungle before I know it.

What!? No IKEA?! I've never been in one but wanted to go to one sometime. Good thing its 2 hours away so I most likely won't go.
There was a really cool home store in Chicago, can't remember what it was called, something barrel I think?

I called realtor...she's gotta call me back in the morning but pretty sure we get to go look at that house tomorrow! I'm so excited!

Ikea is good, for SOME things.. also gotta know what getting into, a $20 coffee table isnt gonna last forever lol

IIRC Ikea stores are laid out in a circular manner. You have to walk the whole store to get to an exit.

Well obviously lol. I love Craigslist and have found some really cool things for cheap on there. So hopefully still find such things when there is a house to furnish.
My mom is crazy awesome at finding antique wooden stuff like dressers and tables and such and then she will redo them. So I have a super good resource when it comes to that, painting and crafting abilities. Yay for mom!

I need to start saving money for a house. Lee will never let me do all my crazy ideas if he has to pay for it all.

Theres short cut areas, you also can jsut go straight to the warehouse and get stuff, no walking around.

Now you guys have my curiosity started on wanting to check IKEA out.....hmmm

go online, check out the online catalog so you ccan see what you like.. but when walking thru everything is setting up in rooms, so you can get killer ideas.

Okay, I will do that tomorrow night!
I must get to sleep now and dream of awesome decorating ideas and houses.
Good night guys

GXP for sure

Just too bad I couldn't take it past 40 mph. Darn traffic.

Might be able to take one out on the open road when I go test drive a Wrangler on Thursday though
