1) You like beets. Wren says: ‘”i’m with ya on the Brussel Sprouts… but my new food that i learned to like is beets. lately i can’t get enough of them… beet salad with cheese and spicy greens… yummy. i used to think they tasted like dirt, what do kids know anyway?” What food do you like that you used to hate? (Mary T. confesses: she still doesn’t like beets!)
2) Paint-by-numbers: the bane of mid-70s childhoods everywhere. Ric says: “OMG! My family totally had the set partially finished in a box under my bed the whole time I was growing up!” Ric, we had our own unfinished sets, trust! See the paint-by-number race horses.
3) Simple math for hanging art is a hit. Jennifer says: “Perfect timing, my husband is trying to figure out if he should put two prints or one in out office. Thanks!” See the math of hanging art.
4) Leah H.’s attic re-do continues to inspire. Angela shared her new(ly gutted) attic, and you shared links to the enviable attic of Leah Hennen (you’ve seen her posts here before) at her now defunct blog More Ways to Waste Time. Martha asays: “I am curious to see what you do–I also have an attic similar to your “after†photo. And I agree that the ‘before’ photo is of a space with a lot of history — but not your history, so sadly it is right to start over. So far in my attic I’ve added two skylights which was a HUGE improvement , added insulation in the floor, and new windows. Next project will be to add electrical–there’s only one bulb over the steps. Here’s a link to an attic makeover that I’ve filed away as inspiration.” We agree — Leah’s attic is a stunner!
5) You agree: Google envelopes are awesome! Juli says: “I think the next time I send my friend a letter, which should be by the end of this week, I’ll send it in a envelop like that! It’s really cool. And really easy to make yourself: I just made one in a few minutes at work. A little bit of effort and a colour printer, and tada! Finally a cool project even an artistically challenged person like me can do!” See the Google envelopes.
