Yow—I hadn’t realized how MIA I’ve been until I was chatting with my mom on the phone and she said my aunt asked her if I was okay since I hadn’t blogged in forever! For the record, the concern was touching, and I had to laugh. I’ll chalk my absence up to several couldn’t-put-them-down books, the crazy end-of-school grading, keeping up with Mr. Mobile Liam (who has been lovingly dubbed LiLi (think LeeLee, not Lily) by his 2-year old buddy Parker), snagging moments of warm weather between blizzards, and trying my hand at refinishing a dresser. What have you been up to?
But really I’ve just been itching to get crafty lately. Some people get the urge to exercise; I get the urge to play with spray paint and hot glue guns. Then the perfect evening project landed in my lap—you know, the kind you can do when your baby is asleep for the night and you’re avoiding the stack of papers threatening to overtake your life. Check out the full instructions for this project—with photos—at Katie B’s blog. The best part? You only need some straws, thread, a can of spray paint, and a whole lotta patience. And it doesn’t hurt if your hubby happens to be awesome at geometry—especially if you didn’t do so well in that particular class…

I am in love. Maybe it’s the texture? Not sure, but this is one of my favorite quickie projects to date.
I would suggest doing this project over the course of several days, as I found myself going a bit cross-eyed at times. Oh, and at first I tried using one long piece of thread, but that was insanely frustrating, so I ended up cutting smaller pieces and then trimming off the leftover ends when the project was finished. For full instructions, head over to Katie B’s blog.
Enjoy!
