just how I feel

Make stuff

• a paper-clip chandelier (I think I have enough time & clips at work for this) from dollar store crafts;
• simple paper lanterns (but I live with pyromaniacs!) from dollar store crafts;
• free-style sewing (I think this requires innate talent, sadly) from unwakeable: the artist, Laura Haigh, is from Adelaide;
• a hidden office liquor cabinet (which might explain what I'm doing with paper clips?) from serious eats;
• more stuff from paper-clips: a rose ring from cute.little.disaster;
• a jumping frog from a metro ticket from just another american in paris;
• I've already saved one fabulous huge tin for the punched design tin can lights from 101 layer cake; who took my drill?
• cute little gift box templates from a little hut (etsy) or free ones from don't eat the paste;
• re-create the Mona Lisa in burger grease via serious eats;
• give yourself skin cancer in pretty patterns, from neatorama;
• a safer use of pretty patterns: fold your own flash table-napkins with yes but no but yes;
• fill your house with leaves like the Aesop store in Notting Hill - via tea for joy.

I need to go back to Sydney

recrap:

To sum up a discussion composed largely of useless bullshit. 

Person 1: "Tell me how the staff meeting went."
Person 2: "Allow me to recrap..."
