The chandelier in our dining room is, in a word, hideous. A couple weekends ago, Derek surprised me while I was in a migraine-induced haze and gussied it up a bit. The lights are plugged into the light fixture and are controlled by the dimmer switch. They put off a really nice pattern on the ceiling when turned on.
Not much else, other than keeping my fingers tightly crossed at the possibility of a new car. I’ll find out tomorrow. I can’t wait!
Felt Balls (Get Your Mind Outta the Gutter!)
I made this thing the other day from a pattern I found online. I made a few changes here and there, but here’s what I came up with:

Incredibly inexpensive and easy to make. I’m thinking of doing more as Christmas gifts. Here’s the original link for the pattern:

On pins and needles
Contributing a bit to my geekiness, I was busy girl this afternoon. Take a peek:

Flights of Nerd-dom
I’m such a geek (as if there was any question up to this point). I’ve been becoming obsessed with crafting. Okay, let me preface this: I have no interest in cheesy sort of crafting. No toilet paper cozies, etc., for me. I’m more interested in things a bit more creative/artistic than that. Lately I’ve been making magnet sets and selling them at my buddy, Catherine’s coffee shop. I’m thinking of seeing if I can sell some online. I’ll post some pics here once my hand heals enough for me to pick up a camera again.
I’ve also become obsessed with looking at crafting websites. Here’s some good ones if you’re interested:
