I’m in a bit of a decorating rut. More like a Everything-I-Want-To-Do-Costs-Too-Much-Money rut. You’ll have that. I’m also trying really hard to plan out rooms versus making impulse purchases. This whole paragraph makes me sad. ;)
Nate and I are working on a little project. It’s just taking more time to dry than expected. Maybe that has something to do with me leaving the water to the hose on overnight, the hose bursting, and flooding our garage. Surprisingly I did no damage…..other than slowing project drying time…and killing the Earth.

| Note: It has not rained in 3 months. That is all garage water. But look how clean my car is!! |
Here is a sneak peek at our project. Any guesses on what it is? I’m hoping to have it done early this week.

Next random topic. I have accepted a new position. It’s a pretty big blogging career move. I am now co-director of the Random Acts of Craftiness Project.
The project is the brain child of Erin over at His and Hers. As co-director, I am basically Erin’s blog husband on this project. I keep her crazy in line. (All husbands of bloggers have to do this, right?)
What is the Random Acts of Craftiness Project. I’ll have you head on over to His and Hers for the full details (which are still in the works) but basically each month you are assigned a random item to make a craft with. And the stuff on Erin’s list is most definitely random.
I wanted to chicken out at first. There is no way I can make something with the items she has in mind. But the more I think about it, I think I can. They may not all be successes but the process of thinking outside of the box will be great. I don’t know about all of you but I sometimes feel I’m losing some of my creativity by constantly browsing blogs and Pinterest. Bring on the challenge director lady!
Are you in? Tell me you are. It’s going to be such scary fun! Have you been pondering a blog? This would be a great excuse to start! We are also looking for some guest judges so let me know if that’s something you would be interested in as well!
Any uncompleted projects your way? Anyone else’s visions larger than their savings account? Who is ready to craft with toothbrushes?
Ah - this toothbrush thing is going to haunt me forever. No one should let me talk out loud before 11AM on Mondays. I'm super excited about this project although I'm also extremely nervous about it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have no idea what you're building but I love surprises! I'm guessing water barrel but who knows??
if anyone can do it and look as good in paint clothes, it's you.
ReplyDeleteOne of my items is going to be an old hose. Maybe you're right to be nervous. ;)
ReplyDeleteps-a hose isn't actually one of the items.
My first thought/worry reading this was "UM, you can burst a hose by leaving the water on...overnight?!" As a current outdoor shower-er (via hose) I'm pretty sure I do this A LOT. I had no idea what horror I could have caused. FER REAL, THANK YOU!!!! I don't think our house could take any more "oops" moments. And I'm really considering this blog challenge!
ReplyDeleteHmm, bummer and congrats in the first sentence! Didn't know a hose could burst like that - yikes. Best of luck in your new blogging role - I have several projects to complete with little to no money so I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve!

I am really tempted to enter the blog challenge but I am probably going to chicken out.
ReplyDeleteI am also rather curious about what you are hammering there.
I'm excited about the Random Acts of Craftiness but at the same time, so stinking freaked out about it. It's going to be one massive blogger fail after another but I'm pretty sure it'll lead to some very entertaining posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm still too chicken to join. Maybe I'll put my big girl craft apron on soon and go for it anyway.
ReplyDeleteHmm... this new "Marriage" sounds quite interesting!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of this whole challenge/project stuff, will surely be fun. I like lurking on these kind of things!
I don't know about the toothbrushes, but I already told Erin I'm in. You will be the perfect blog husband!
ReplyDeleteooo this sort of thing makes me nervous as am i no martha but...i am going to try!!
ReplyDeleteI entered the challenge. Pretty sure I'm going to spend the next x months wondering why I ever agreed to this, then being glad I did, over and over each month. Congratulations on your bloggy promotion!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you're working on! I'm nervous about the tooth brushes!
ReplyDeletebahaha from the sounds of things I should probably clarify that there will be no toothbrushes. Sorry Crest and Oral-B.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your garage floor needed to be hosed down...a lot.
ReplyDeleteI am all over this crafty thing; I'm totally excited (yet disappointed that there will be no toothbrushes)!
Just happened upon your blog and I love your blog name!! So cute!!! Just joined your blog!! I'd love it if you could follow me back too!!

I'm always up for a good challenge.
ReplyDeletey'know -- water marks on garage drywall could make for some interesting modern art...
ReplyDeleteTotally agree on the time spent Pinteresting & bloggering -- I spend less time crafting & stitching -- FAIL.
'Grats on the (not so)enviable position in Erin's crafty empire!
This sounds way too odd not to do. Off to check it out..!
ReplyDeleteI've done that hose-left-on thing before but it was for an entire weekend. When I came home and opened the door all the contents of the garage went floating down the driveway and into the street:) Congrats on your new position and I can't wait to see what you crazy kids are making!!
ReplyDeleteYikes! That hose move is classic Mindy lol!
ReplyDeleteAs for the project, you KNOW I'm in! I also have been feeling a bit lame in the creative depot (except in the kitchen, where I can't stop testing out new ways to use nutella and new ways to use cheese). I'm a sick individual lately.
I can't wait to get crafty with who knows what. Hey, maybe we should do garden hoses so you can turn your (almost) disaster into something beautiful :)
