That was how I answered a first grade homework assignment. Yes, apparently all I did for seven years of my life were climbing things and the occasional craft.
That's actually probably true.
So anyway, I still enjoy crafting things. Anything, really. When the urge strikes I have no choice but to make something, and most of those things are disasters.
But this time, I'm actually kind of proud of myself!
So I'm a big fan of my room. Like it's probably top five on my list of things I love most in this world. (Fine...probably top ten including family. And chocolate.)
I'm a pretty solitary person, so my room is my sanctuary. And the one I have now at my apartment is probably my favorite by far, not counting the neon orange cube I had in seventh grade.
Anyway, because of this, I like to make things for my room. So when my bookshelf broke, (it was $15. I think it fell apart when I sneezed in its general direction) I was psyched.
I went to a thrift store, found an $8 sturdy wooden bookshelf, and decided to spruce it up a bit. And thanks to my boyfriend and his dad, the top is all polyurethaned up and ready to hold things!
So here it is in all its glory, the fruit of my genius procrastination techniques:
Before:
After!
I love newsprint. And owls.
Here it is all done and settled in!
And these are my little guys: Mini Sherlock and Mini Owl.
Now back to real things!
