So. Still on the hunt, but we’ve gotten this far. I really think the Vitamin C serum that I’ve been using has been making a difference. I was going to buy it, but I’m lazy, so I’m making it.

Doesn’t this necklace look amazingly like this necklace? I saw the new Tara Jarmon stuff at Target (which is awesome by the way) and this necklace called to me. I said, “I could make that.” So i looked it up. Gotta love the people over at Craftster. Check out the tutorial here.

This Umbra bookshelf has been all over the ‘net in the past couple of days. Last night, I sat down and said, “There must be a way to make this thing and save the $20.”

Yes, yes there is. One L-bracket from the hardware store and some good strong double stick tape (to keep the bottom flap from hanging down) plus a book that you’re OK with potentially ruining and [...]
