Things in my House Thursday - Steve

I am going to show you something that I started in August and didn't finish until about a week ago. It did not need that much time to finish, I just never worked on it. I got very close to finishing it, but then just stopped.

What is it?

It is Steve:

I can't help but smile every time I see Steve. I love the bright orange (my favorite color) against the darker blue.

I know, I've been gone a long time.

School is almost over and bowling ended yesterday. On the last day of bowling we got free pizza, prizes, and trophies. Everyone also got a "coupon" where they can bowl one game for free everyday of the summer (June-August). When Mom was looking at it she noticed something we found pretty funny:

I know it is hard to see, but near the bottom it says: "Say YES to Bowling, Say NO to Drugs"

Mom and I thought that was very random. I'm not saying it is okay to do drugs, just what does drugs have to do with bowling?

Last night, when I was going through a box full of clutter that I had hiding behind my chair, I found some jewelry making items.  I didn't actually come across something for making jewelry to wear, but for making fan pulls.  They were in my stocking from Christmas.

The fan pull I have had for about a million years was a clear dolphin.  I would've taken a picture for you, but Mom has already given it to Goodwill.  I have no idea why I had it or where it came from; all I know is that it had been there forever and didn't really go with my room.  I decided to make one that did. 

The reason the brown beads look off to the side is because they wouldn't fit on the actual swirly fan pull.  I really wanted to use them though; they helped make the fan pull look like it actually belonged in my room.  So, I just took a thin piece of wire, attached it to the fan pull, and put the brown beads on the wire.  I think it looks better with the brown beads like that.

For TIMHT I am showing you this frame.  So, this frame is super teeny with little purple rhinestones.  My favorite about it though, is the picture (of course).

We have a friend named Ginger who houses many animals and lives in the country.  She has about 78 million cows and dogs.  She also has birds and cats (good mix).  Anyway, now you know what she is like.  Ginger is fully prepared and capable of taking care of any animal.  The little raccoon in the picture, Frederick, is one she found without a mother.  She had to bottle feed it and keep it warm.  It was so cute and soft with little "hands".  Once it got old enough she let it go; it was quite sad to not see Frederick anymore.
