I've seen a few too many moths around the apartment for the past week or so. (Maybe ten or so.) What's odd is that they don't seem to be central to any one area. I find them both in my main front room/"kitchen" area (actually, they don't seem to be near the "kitchen" portion of the room, but out in the "living room" area) and in the bedroom ( ( Read more... )

I opened my cassette tape box (my CD player hasn't worked since day one, but now it's really not working, so I must resort to 70s and 80s casette tape tunes).

In my itsy bitsy teenie weenie apartment, I moved my only table to the front room to do crafts. I like being able to look out the window while crafting. It's an utter and complete mess. Someone somewhere smartly suggested putting a cheap-o vinyl tablecloth on. Once it gets covered in all sorts of gunk (as my table has a hundred times over) ( Read more... )

My mind is all aflutter with the number of different types and styles of tin cutters. (Tin about the width of the Altoids boxes.) Can my new and shiny and slick-as-a-whistle dremel cut tin?
