I love lamp.


Wouldn't these look amazing down a flight of basement stairs or on the back porch of the ol' victorian we are looking at?  You could even use LARGE cans for a different look...or different sizes...
The how to is on design sponge dot com.




And this...at the end of  the hall upstairs?
Diy HERE.


In the parlor id like to do something similar to this.
Except instead of birds, I have an old anatomy book...
I think they will fit in with my collection don't you?

Strange things... and my cat.



My collection:
Hearts (some with parasites, some with out), kittens of various ages from fetus to birth, bladder stones, testicles, brains, bird skulls, salamanders, ovaries, raccoons, bats, opossums, bot fly larva, squirrels ticks, toe nails and various other organic matter.



My mask i made for Halloween 2010.




Creepy freight elevator in my apartment building.
(Originally it was a candy factory, then it was a paper factory)



Saltwater absorbed into this vintage ceramic mug, so we filled it with water and have been watching the salt seep out and form crystals over the last 3 days.



Generalized Anxiety Disorder.






My cat.




My husband, Caleb, getting his tongue pierced.

New boots. and a thistle... have you ever stepped on one barefoot? those suckers Fuckers HURT.





AWWWW! My little Halloween buddy!



Us on Halloween 2010. People kept SCREAMING Beetlegeuse!!


A bot fly larva i pulled out of a kittens head. It had been sitting in alcohol for 8 hours, in this video it had been in formaldehyde for 4 hours. I decided to document it with video before the monster died.     (which was another 4 hours, what thick skin!!!)

I am an Atheist who accepts Christmas gifts.



Caleb led me to believe this year that we were too broke for gifts...
Little did i know, he got me this bad boy.
a Nikon 3000. Suhweet!





He also made me a charming little card. See above ^

I    L-O-V-E my new camera! Gawjus!





My second favorite gift for a holiday I don't believe in... a new E-Reader.
I read Alice in wonderland in one night. <3
That about sums up Christmas. (I left out the alcohol and infant sacrifices)

Day Dream Believer



So lately my husband and I have been dreaming of home ownership.






We did a little calculating and decided it would better suit our lifestyle than rentals. As I sat on the couch next to him while he played halo, i decided to make a blog about our upcoming adventure. :)
 HERE IT IS!!!
We looked at many houses, but this one caught our eye!
