Note to self: Make this clock for myself. Get over your fear of the drill and just be willing to try this. It reminds me of my childhood and learning to tell time.

I have been looking for a clock like this in the antique stores. Why didn’t I just think of making my own?

Homemade Bubbles Recipe

Laura Moncur — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 11:00:10 +0000

Thanks to Sparkle Power for this homemade bubbles recipe. I need to remember to pick up some glycerin and the pharmacy so I can have the secret magic bubble ingredient on hand when I need it.

Sparkle Power!: Homemade Bubbles

Homemade Bubble Recipe:

1 gallon water
2/3 cup dishwashing soap
2-3 tbsp. glycerin

Make it the night before so the ingredients can get mixed together without shaking the bottle.

Then they’ll last forever and won’t smell like rotten eggs.

I’ll have to practice on non-Bobka eggs first so I don’t screw hers up.

Note To Self: Make A Better Life with Ikea

Laura Moncur — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:00:40 +0000

It looks like creativity knows no bounds when it comes to using the bits and pieces in the boxes of parts that Ikea gives you. Here are a couple of projects that looked particularly interesting.

I don’t really NEED a murphy bed or bike rack, but aren’t they the coolest projects?

I think I love Ikea because all of their items look like building blocks. They remind me of Lego blocks and how I put them together is my choice. Will I create what I’m “supposed” to create? Will I create something lame and rickety? Will I create something that the Gargonzola monster could withstand? It all depends on me!
