Sometimes, I actually get stuff done.
Oct 11, 2007 Let me start off by saying I totally want to kiss each and every person who left a comment on my last post on the mouth. First, because you are all brilliant. Second of all, because after reading the comments, I wasn't worried or stressed about the door anymore -- I was EXCITED and INSPIRED and wanting to KISS YOU ALL ON THE MOUTH.
I did two things: I bought a magnetic curtain rod, and made curtains for the front door. It's very swanky. Also, a magentic curtain rod is genius and magical (I had no idea my front door was metal, so now I want to put all kinds of letter magnets on the front door that say things like "go away" and "bite me" and "jesus doth forsaketh all ye who entereth here" and stuff like that). No holes! Easy curtains! Check it out!
Also, I used the marble idea on one of the random doors in our house. It was originally an outside door, and then they added on a little mud-room type thing, so it's now an inside door. I could take it or leave it, so I figured if I effed it up by glueing crap to it it wouldn't be a big deal. Check it out also!

I'm still planning on grouting it. Did you know grout comes in colors? Like hemp, and beige, and eggshell? Did you? Well, it does. The grout aisle at Lowe's literally scared the shit out of me, but I think everything will be okay in the end.
Still working on the kitty -- I'm about 90% done. I just have to do the tail. I'm so excited. It's so effing cute. No, really. It is.
Also, I got my invitation to Ravelry the other day, and HOLY CRAP! That place is like a black hole of yarn and awesomeness. Every time I log in and think, "Okay, just 5 minutes, I'm just going to check out a few things real quick" it always sucks me in. So, five minutes turns into half an hour. But that place is awesome! Seriously! I could not show any more enthusiasm than I already am with my excessive use of exclamation points! If you knit/crochet and haven't joined yet, you should. (!)
Oh! And! I got both Charlie and Phoebe's costumes done. I'll post some pictures one of these days. I still have to do Marissa's, which is going to be the hardest, but I'm totally pumped up that I'm 66% done with this. Wahoo!
Note to self: don't blog when you've had three cups of coffee in a row.
Hollah!

Don't forget that you signed on to help me with my robot costume. Oh, and you're still totally awesome for getting the doors all pretty lookin', they're super-fancy now, like you. :)
I *love* that marble door window!
Oooh, you did the marble windows!! Was it hard? Does it look as cool in real life as it does in pictures? Should I do my front door now?
;)
I'd comment on how lovely the door window looks and how warm and cosy that curtain is, but I'm too busy puckering up waiting for my kiss. Ok, sure, I didn't actually make a very helpful comment the time before, but I should still get a kiss. Because I'm pretty.
Hey homie. Have new blog. It's been a long time. SERIOUSLY. Stop by, will ya?
Oh and I love the mosaic!

Those marbles look fabulous!
That's awesome! I love the marbles a lot.
If the curtain doesn't work out for the front door, you could always find a picture of a creepy naked old man standing in a window, enlarge it to life size, and tape that mother to the door. That'll keep away grandmas who want you to do sewing favors for them, eh?
Yay! Those magnetic curtain rods are a life saver. I love the marbles, too.
