working on home improvement....

Here's what started it all:
We went to my bro-in-law's wedding and they had these rose petals sitting on the table, so I decided that I wanted a rose-petal curtain. It turned out really nice. Definitely added to the ho-hum bathroom. Jokingly hubby said 'What about my bathroom'?.....so then it kept going!

This was originally going to be a binary clock (it started as one of those $10 clocks from almart), but I gave up when I messed up the numbers....I actually like it better this way. It is complete with resisters, springs, fuses, and miscellaneous parts from god knows what.


This was a perfectly good working CD drive that I got from my mom. It is now wall art. I think I may go in with white paint and lighten it up a bit to match the clock better.

This is actually the door to the shower covered in CDs that were scratched.

I'm planning on working more on the bathroom and have other ideas in mind.

This is a shelving unit I got from my great grandma. I never really liked it that much, I nabbed it for the function. Originally it was all white. Now it is black on top with black edges on the shelves...I like it much better now!



My husband though these CD towers were the coolest ever, spray painted them black and silver, and they have sat around the house for about 5 years. I finally convinced him to get rid of them, but then I came up with the idea to make them into shelves, by using empty CD cases as the shelves.

I'm still working on more home projects so stay tuned!

Flower thong pattern...FINALLY!

Here is the long awaited pattern for the flower thong. I did use a smaller hook than what I had used on the purple undies, but I similarly used crochet size 10 thread. Flower Thong Pattern: **Pattern is worked starting with the string, then the body of the thong, then the ties. sh= shell= 3 dc in one st **NOTE: I made this pattern to fit me...I wear about a 6 size undies. If you wear bigger or smaller, you will need to adjust the ties accordingly. I also made the ties so they could be just double knotted, not tied in bows, so if that's what you're looking for, you would need to add more as well. Also this pattern is for personal use only, please do not sell the pattern or the undies, as I am giving it to you for free and it took several hours to write it down. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and please let me know if I need to tweak the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!** Ch 60, sc in 2nd from hook and in each ch. When you get to end ch, 5 sc & “go around corner”. Sc in ea

Free Crochet Pattern for pladish undies :)

Okay, so here is the pattern for the purple pair of undies. It is not tested, so please let me know if there are mistakes. I would recommend using a smaller hook for a tighter crochet. I will probably remake it with a smaller hook....however, the hook I used, I got from a hair dying kit so I don't know the exact size. I would guestimate 1.5-2.00 mm. Also this pattern is for personal use only, please do not sell, as I am giving it to you for free and it took several hours to write it down since I had to constantly retrace my steps. Thanks, and enjoy!!!...Oh and one more thing....if you do make it, PICTURES!!! Crochet thong- It is worked from the back to the front.
