LOL</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First up we have the canning jar lamp pinned on my lighting board <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/294734099/">mason jar light</a> and here is the version that my DH and I made this past weekend. We had so much fun doing this together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkx3hMB8UkygND1kv6xzrgIllAbgPGRxJaoeseNBs_oa0atwKnfVCS_vR87SCFqquB7ZaVVRnj3mf_mMwYhEKCr8VHgK-TXYO4YGQjs_oixReYfql14974syVsIO-dLLf0TPsqOvcRM0C/s1600/DIY+light+canvas+619.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkx3hMB8UkygND1kv6xzrgIllAbgPGRxJaoeseNBs_oa0atwKnfVCS_vR87SCFqquB7ZaVVRnj3mf_mMwYhEKCr8VHgK-TXYO4YGQjs_oixReYfql14974syVsIO-dLLf0TPsqOvcRM0C/s320/DIY+light+canvas+619.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next is the "art" here is the link to the pin <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/394647451/">art</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> and here is what I came up with. Multiple canvases in a dark red to blend in with the red bedroom curtains. So fun. I did get a bit of bleeding on the lines I am sure that it was because I needed two coats of paint so I left the tape on and didn't take it off immediately after painting. What is great is I had the canvas on hand and the paint was a "Martha Stewart" sample from Home Depot which was less that $3.00. I love it and if there is an earthquake no worries about getting cut up from breaking glass!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9YMGosI1yoMRTtnF6amhwpeacsv7HB5bscSvFbf-Zv8vMN1Rud5J1t3e3s5Cff7PRWcbgi8oC_pEZKbZf0-TT9tfEahAgrFYpw5isyNM2XGus76cDSyRyBk_uCEsW8s4Cj9M1MvPRGXu/s1600/DIY+light+canvas+613.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9YMGosI1yoMRTtnF6amhwpeacsv7HB5bscSvFbf-Zv8vMN1Rud5J1t3e3s5Cff7PRWcbgi8oC_pEZKbZf0-TT9tfEahAgrFYpw5isyNM2XGus76cDSyRyBk_uCEsW8s4Cj9M1MvPRGXu/s320/DIY+light+canvas+613.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> This next item is one of those crazy ideas I had late at night. I have a daughter that has to have it completely dark to sleep....to the point she flipps the alarm clock over so the light doesn't disturb her! I also have a nifty gadget that holds my phone @ night and was thinking oh if I made a "Nighty Nite Cap" for the phone the light wouldn't bother me when messages, e-mails or calls might be coming in at night. Phone without cap.<br />

Life has changed!Just stopped by the 'ol blog today and didn't realize that I had basically neglected it for almost two years.... I knew it had been a while but two years???? Life has taken many changes during that time. Now living where life is easier on us and loving it....I have a DIY project that I so need to post ...quilts that need to be pieced. Not sure where this blog will go from now....it would be nice if I were to become committed and posted about life to it so my friends could keep up with me. My newest love seems to be Pinterest these days and DIY projects.....which road to take....as life marches on....Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00971069873834146104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426104294710770308.post-78003510690588986762010-01-29T16:15:00.000-08:002010-01-29T16:15:51.538-08:00Moving Right Along....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw72vGnqP0mzxuT0LlKnxZBIddsSOJ3MQyi4PJ-6sT4B_YpZoZTG4Am1YvFxN5_x1_D_aBKoim-ZDfrtPzGia3HhCL2aFh25aTe2GZqsWAL1F0S_PNCt7rmwU0xGnOx1too0YJUfgxKT2h/s1600-h/Desk+Top+Issue.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw72vGnqP0mzxuT0LlKnxZBIddsSOJ3MQyi4PJ-6sT4B_YpZoZTG4Am1YvFxN5_x1_D_aBKoim-ZDfrtPzGia3HhCL2aFh25aTe2GZqsWAL1F0S_PNCt7rmwU0xGnOx1too0YJUfgxKT2h/s200/Desk+Top+Issue.JPG" width="200" /></a>Here is a picture of my computer desk.

Please understand he's the brains, and I know he loves me! I have a fair amount of storage items.....some I use daily all the time others not so much! So I've decided to take you on a truthful tour of my studio today and over the next week or so......can we all say <strong>"I'm feeling vulnerable!"</strong> I also feel that if I bring you the truth maybe it will encourage me to move on and do some cleaning, organizing, purging....um....yeah how long do you think that will last? The other thing that might happen is that I will make you all laugh and that is one of my major goals in life is to bring laughter to the world....ready??<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz5SRWJ9VtEm_nTOtCrnzRg3c5WsIocBRX2DtY5FMmiSQBMVJIAIICy03ywxAONJ_Z9xq9UQJmdgqQjRHmGfPONbjNwWJeNECK21peIxLpSJdNpF4XDvqwqXp0ktyf7_6IvH_VPawd0G4J/s1600-h/studio+019.JPG"> </a><br />

This is what you see when you step inside the door. It includes a tall desk that I got at a bargain price from <strong>Pier 1</strong>. It had a damaged corner and it was marked down several hundred dollars...I love to save money! That damage corner doesn't bother me at all. I have the desk top covered with a complete piece of glass it is so much easier to work on and it cleans up like a dream.Behind that tall desk is my computer desk.<br />

This is the other side of the room! Those cubes by<strong> Jet Max</strong> are wonderful they hold a lot of product and I got them at <strong>Michael's</strong> only with 40 or 50% off coupons one at a time!<br />

<div>The truth I need to empty everyone out and re-organize them all and label the drawers. On the top of them you will see my <strong>Carl cutter</strong> which I love and my <strong>Scor-It</strong> love that too<br />

<div>Humm maybe this will go in a direction that I will clean a section at a time and let you see it again when it is done. In case your wondering I do know where most everything is unless of course I have help and someone has moved something! LOL<br />

This is a box that I purchased after Halloween for some ridiculous amount of money....maybe $0.33 from <strong>Christmas Tree Shop, </strong>I then altered it and use them to store my 6x6 papers and my spray and stamp cleaner. <br />

This little set up I use every day that I create. My wonderful hubs screwed different size PVC pipe fittings onto my desk to hold my heat tool, <strong>Scotch ATG 714</strong> tape gun and my flour sack towels and <strong>Method</strong> cleaner to clean my desk. those items are always within reach and probably will be there for as long as I create. Well that is it for today enjoy! Until next time when I share more of my stuff!<br />

So on that note I thought I would give you a little context to the picture at the top of the blog......It is the pear tree in our back yard and I have been watching it closely and the Honey Bees are alive and well working very hard to give us a great harvest this coming fall.....I know that there is a crisis with the Honey Bees but I am pleased to report they are doing well in our neighborhood. Well that is it for today.....more moving for the kids today. Wishing you a most excellent day!<br />RobynRobynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00971069873834146104noreply@blogger.com0
