a lamp.

I found this cute lamp on one of my favorite diy blogs, curbly.  it seems really easy, fun, and cheap!  the best part is how you can make it your own by changing the color or the amount of dowels you use. happy crafting!

Materials

• Lamp and cord pendant set, such as the IKEA Hemma ($3.99)
• 10 3/16" wood dowels, 36"-length  ($.29/e; $2.90)
• 1 can spray paint ($2.95)

Total: $9.84

Tools

• Saw or utility knife
• Hot glue gun and yellow (wood) glue sticks
• Two-part epoxy, Household Goop, or E6000 glue
• Tin snips or sharp scissors (optional)

curbly has the step-by-step instructions, seems very easy and fun.

a new.

this is my attempt to get back to where i started. i haven't felt creatively inspired in a long time but i know i need to find that nitch again and embrace it. as of now, i am working on ideas for new hi.bye.mudpie products and thinking about starting an easy account to keep me going.

i'm gonna start off by exploring things in oakland and my area and sharing those with everyone. this should help the inspirational aspect of my creativity. i have been cooking more and more and am working on keeping track of those recipes.

for now it's sleeping pups.
