Among other things, I mentioned how awesome they are for creating custom embellishments without the need for any fancy-pants equipment.
Yep, waterslide decal paper is a truly fab product, though as great as it is, there is one drawback – although it’s somewhat tough it’s not especially durable. So, whilst it’s perfect for ornamental purposes, it’s not ideal for more practical applications…until now that is! Magic decal coating paper is a product designed to be used in conjunction with standard decal paper to make the finished transfers super durable – yes, even dishwasher resistant! If you’re already familiar with magic decal coating paper then please excuse my tardy excitement, though for everyone else who is just getting to the party now too, feel free to start throwing the streamers! 1 Image to transfer.

The B-Roll » Archives » Day 140 / Retro Modern Wireless Speakers. UPDATE: I finally posted my Instructable on how to make these speakers for yourself.
You can link to it by clicking here Well, I feel pretty good about this one. I could hardly sleep last night at 2:30am when I finished this. I was too giddy. I really wanted to test it out to make sure it was going to work. On Friday I had the idea. I was thinking about the christmas in July party and how it was such a pain to not only wire up the lights but also the speakers. It’s amazing how this one came together. Last night (Day 140) I assembled it all together. This wasn’t a cheap project mainly due to the cost of the wireless speakers but it was completely worth it now that I have these cool modern speaker spheres of my own design. I still have another speaker to make and I’ll probably get that done in the next few days. All in all, I’m very happy.

David takes the cooking outdoors by hacking a Varde sink unit into something better than a BBQ grill. He says, "When we moved to California, our apartment had an electric stove, which we hate. Also, we wanted to be outside on the patio to enjoy the weather.
We're vegetarians, so we don't actually grill that much. So we did this instead. We got a Varde sink unit on sale, enlarged the precut hole a bit and dropped in a propane cooktop designed for an RV that I bought off eBay for about $25. Add a tank, and we're cooking with (propane) gas! The hole for the faucet is still there. Taking the Y out of D.I.Y. Click to view 2 more ads on Forsby and Billy . Cool Outdoor Shower.

Silly Lilly and yes I have a daughter named Lilly too.
And 12 year old tiny cotton ball Lucy, unfortunately nothing matching rhymes with her name. I always felt bad about keeping my cats inside but I also know that there are so many dangers awaiting them outside. I started with the small enclosure around the living room window. I used galvanized hardware for decks to put the structure together. This is the way I supported the tunnel along the fence. I screwed cedar planks on top of the brackets.

Why This Outdoor Space Is Just As Cool As You Think It Is. How to Make a Personal Fire Pit For Cheap! My name is Karen and I haven’t lit anything on fire in 5 months. I’m sure I deserve some sort of a chip or something for that. You see … I’m a bit of a pyromaniac. Technically I’m not a *real* pyromaniac I guess. I mean, I only light things on fire that should be lit on fire. Like kindling and hardwood and pretty much anything with Hello Kitty on it. And of course all of Rush’s 1980’s albums where they dabbled in “New Wave”. We light fires in the fireplace every night here in old Casa de Karen from October until March. 6 face cords every year go flying up that chimney.
So what’s a pretend pyromaniac girl like me to do in September? The Answer … The Personal Fire Pit.

Spencer Toy Click to Enlarge "I like areas of double use," says Sacramento architect Kristy McAuliffe, and her 5-foot square Scrabble board rates at least a double-word score on the scale of inventive garden games.
With the help of friend Keith Rogers, McAuliffe made a wood frame, then poured concrete and scored it into 3¾-inch squares separated by ¼-inch joints. After the concrete had cured for one month, she colored the squares using water-base concrete stains. McAuliffe then made 100 3¼-inch square letter tiles from baseboard trim. She found precut, adhesive-backed vinyl letters and numbers at a sign shop, stuck them on the tiles, and sealed each one with spray lacquer. The lightweight letters, which are stored in a canvas bag, fit on metal trays made by McAuliffe's friend, metal artist Crystal Weber. Games go late on summer evenings.

Who really wants to get up to get another beer? Almost everyone has seen this picture of the wine cooler patio table ether on Pinterest or Reddit.
This picture was taken at Medlock Ames’ tasting room. Picture source: dwell.com Right after my husband saw this he asked me to make it happen.

With the arrival of Spring, I decided it was time to bust out and build a tree house for Ursula, which I'd never done before. I remember having one as a kid and loving it. I wanted one that I could build in a day, wouldn't be too high up so as to worry me or other parents, and which was SIMPLE in design to maximize playtime and allow for adding on later. It's light, open and can go up and down easily. This tree house was built out of scrap wood and branches I had in our yard, and is a strong enough design not to require any more reinforcement than what you see here.
It's also located at the start of our zip-line , which we put up last summer, and makes it a good place to climb up to and launch off from when needing to head out quickly across the yard.
