Da Desk

Hallo! Unfortunately, I don't have any "before" pictures of this desk. It was originally stained brown, very dinged up. It's still dinged up, but now it's yellow!  I got the cheap paint from Walmart, and I regret it a little, because it has never gotten a hard finish. Everything still sticks to it (after weeks in a dry climate). It doesn't come off on anything, but the pencil cup, for example, sticks to the surface. I don't close the drawers exactly flush, because then they'll stick when I try to open them. I'll remember the paint department at Walmart fondly however--the saleslady called it "Chick Yellow". It was "Chic Yellow" but that also works. Chicks are this shade of yellow too. ;) The desk originally had a sheet of glass on top. I kept it off after the repaint job, because it gave a bluish tinge to the paint underneath, and it sort of spoiled the new look the desk had going for it now. New hardware, from Hickory Hardw...

Hoskins and Spenalzo Are Dead

About 6 weeks ago, I went to the local Theatre Guild's prop/costume sale. I came away with a couple vintage aprons and some costume jewelry. They got my phone number. A couple weeks later, I got a phone call from Denise Plantenburg, their resident superhero. Could I make a dead body? They are doing Arsenic and Old Lace , one of my favorite movies that was a Broadway smash before it hit the big screen.  After a lot of Googling, I ended up with the proposal of wrapping a live body in duct tape, then stuffing it with rags, newspaper, and kitty litter for weight. Denise herself was my model, and a very good sport as I alternately suffocated her and mauled her extremities with a pair of dull scissors in a desperate attempt to get the mess off of her before she toppled over.  What then did I have? What looked like a pair of out-size frog legs and a very stiff coat.  I stuffed the shell ( necropants ?) with some rags, bags of kitty litter in the feet, and newsp...

Me, Mine, and Nevermind

I am so vain. Look at me, getting a blog so I can show off my projects to anyone unfortunate enough to fall into my trap. Mwa-haha. :D Part of the reason I'm doing so many projects is because I think the aura of my sister-in-law remains in her old house. Lemme 'splain: My brother and sister-in-law owned this house in our hometown. They moved, my other older brother bought it, and I rent from him. And my room is Ruthanne's old sewing room . She wasn't just crafty. She was crafty and gooooood at it. Making-oven-mitts-that-look-like-rabbits-and-double-as-hand-puppets good. I've been there a month and already I've done three projects, and gotten like twenty more started. Hey, everyone knows how much fun it is to start projects and spend money! It helps that I have a whole bedroom to myself for the first time in my life. I can decorate it any way I want! (well, within reason, but I'm a very reasonable tenant). So be ready for updates my nonexistent internet a...
