61: Two Birds

Once upon a time there were two birds who enjoyed sitting together on the local wire, cooking classes and long walks on the beach.

60: Wide Load

I like that each side of each bead has it's own unique character. Also, that the beads are wide and flat while still being lightweight.

59: A little bit of this

This used to be this:

No, I didn't paint this. I bought it with that hot mess; Wolf in Sheep's Clothing for $2.99.

For a while it was this:

A touch silvery, hugged in a nice dark green.

But then it decided what it really wanted to grow up and be.

58: Frankenlamp

The Boy and I were at my local St. Vinnys scouring for pre-painted canvas on the cheap, when we stumbled across this lamp base for $2.99.

SOLD!!!
P.S. No, I didn't need another freaking lamp!

We did find some canvas... I reported to Facebook, "My project for the day is to rid the world of this. You're welcome."

Dude, a little primer goes a looooooong way.

As for the lamp, we made sure it worked then proceeded to scour town for a reasonably priced shade ($6.99 - Goodwill). Realizing that we also needed that shade holder thingy, we bought ANOTHER lamp ($4.99 - Goodwill) to steal just that one part.

The spare lamp will probably be used for target practice, throwing at passing cars from an overpass or maybe I'll get all drunk some night and leave it in an unsuspecting neighbors yard.
Suckers.

After a little hack saw action, a bunch of running around for dumb parts, paying $14.97 wasn't all that bad for how it turned out. I enjoy snuggling up in the chair to talk to The Boy when he is away :)
