He blasts The Cure on his sweet sound system

Yes, I'm back so soon. I was shocked today at the death of Michael Jackson. I was appalled at some of the things written on Facebook. Shocked and appalled.

I'm getting back into craft-zone, and I get updates from google reader from the Design Sponge blog. They write like 20 posts a day, so it takes a while to wade through it all. But it's worth it. They have DIY Wednesdays, where they give you fun projects to do. They also do before and afters which are fun. People make over furniture pieces and rooms and they are sometimes lame and sometimes really cool. Today there was a before and after for a baby's nursery. I really liked it because it was a little dark for a baby. No frills, no pink or blue. It was basically what I would want for my baby if I had one. You can see it here.

Still working on the new quilt. Hope you like blue and purple. Yeah, I know, sounds ugly, right? I'll post some pics when it starts taking shape. I'm a little unsure about this one because it's not brown. I'm a little weary of color, it seems.

Thanks to design sponge, I also got hooked on a new blog. The girl's house was featured on DS because she has some great stuff that she's found at thrift stores, etc... She has a $100 rule: no individual item can cost more than $100. She has gotten some really awesome mid-century furniture for great prices. She's not afraid to lie and cheat to get it either :) Anyway, if you are bored, love pretty mid-century things, and enjoy a sense of humor, check out her blog.

I've been making lots of crepes lately. Sweet and savory.

Our across the street neighbor is so lame. He's in his 40's. He has highlighted longish hair with a slight receding hairline. He wears clothes that were "nice" in the late '90's, and he drives a Miata, which he thinks is so hot. He peels out of his driveway with the top down while he blasts The Cure on his sweet sound system. He was hosing down his dishwasher in the driveway today. They have been doing weird things like that lately. Maybe they murdered someone in there, and now they're trying to clean up the evidence.

Guess that's enough random facts for now. It's almost time for the SYTYCD results show anyway.
