Before I get into today’s tutorials, I want to say something about baby things. “Things” meaning accoutrements. Not like pee and/or poop (which is what I believe are most things related to babies). I’ve been getting some baby gifts ready (which is why I’m not making this post about baby stuff since I want to try to surprise some friends of mine) and I just need to say this. Babies are tiny. Like after making something, I couldn’t believe that a human could ever fit into this. I showed it to Ryan and said “Can you believe how tiny this is? I would kill something this small.” To which he replied “ON PURPOSE??!!” Yes. On purpose. I realize that I’m dead inside, but really??? I just meant that something that small would easily break in my care. Honestly, I don’t think like I should have had to explain myself in that situation. But apparently Ryan thinks you should all watch your babies around me.
TO THE LIGHTS!
I’ve been seeing some REALLY cool lighting ideas lately and it kinda enrages me. Why, you ask? Because I have nowhere to put some sort of cool lighting fixture. Apartment living is FOR THE BIRDS (and you all know how I feel about birds). But that doesn’t mean that a girl can’t dream. I mean, who knows. Maybe someday I’ll live somewhere that has so many rooms that I’ll be able to put a super cool lighting fixture in each one. Oh, that’s probably called a house, huh. Damn you, Southern California housing costs!!!
Hanging lightbulbs. This is the one that cuts me to the core. I want this. Like big time bad. A friend of mine is in the process of making something similar (this) which I would also like to have. I’ll take either, please.
Dodecahedron pendant light. Right?! That’s not awesome or anything. Good grief. And side note - I’ll take some of that wallpaper for my laundry room as well. Oh wait, I DON’T HAVE A LAUNDRY ROOM !! Well, unless you count the gross dungeon-like room in the Queen AnnE with 2 washers and dryers circa 1975. And I don’t. I’m feeling very bitter today…
Cloud light. I love the look on the guy’s face who’s holding this. Hilarious. He’s trying not to laugh, yet realizes how ridiculous it must look to be holding a giant balloon/cotton cloud over his head. For some reason, I absolutely love this. If I were to have a baby, I would totally put this in the nursery. Of course, that would be before I killed it. Obvs. (If anyone is reading that out of context, please see paragraph one above. I am not a baby killer).
Well there you have it. I hope none of you can make any of these either. Poo on you too.

Do you have one of those boring recessed can lights? They make thoselug adapters that screw in like a light bulb and then you could make a fancy light to cover the boring can light. There’s got to be room somewhere!

The only fixtures we have are two fan/lights (one in the bedroom and one in the “dining room”) and then an overhead light in the kitchen. Oh, and the vanity in the bathroom, obvs. I think Ryan would break down and cry if I ever mentioned getting rid of the fans since he’s CONSTANTLY boiling hot. Plus our place is too tiny to hang something so awesomely grandiose. It’s a crying shame.
