DIY Welcome Mat

It was such a nice day outside today and I’ve been itching to work on a project, so I made a new welcome mat to replace our old one that didn’t make it through the winter.

I made it using outdoor carpet and astroturf bits I bought at Menards, then cut them with a box cutter and taped the pieces together on the back with duct tape specially made for outdoor use. The whole thing cost about $10 to create.

Here’s where I got my inspiration for the project.

• What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

• I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
