Office Cubicle Converted Into A Castle. DirecTV employee and Redditor ErikAufDieMeer turned his cubicle into a castle. A cardboard castle. The most impenetrable kind! I hope he built this thing on the clock. Why? Because damn the man, that’s why! Sometimes work is hard. Sometimes you gotta do things to liven things up a bit. Via: www.obviouswinner.com.

How To Glitter A Concrete Floor | CraftyChica.com | Official site of award-winnning artist and novelist, Kathy Cano-Murillo. In the process of redoing our art studio, I wanted to go big and sparkly. We ripped up the icky carpet and found smooth concrete underneath. We went to Home Depot and bought a garage floor epoxy coating kit. I saw that it came with black and white decorative flecks, and instantly thought – “why not glitter?” We bought the sandstone color and I bought 6 jars of chunky gold glitter at Michaels (I was going to use my Crafty Chica Goddess Gold Glitter, but I didn’t have enough to cover the room). Here’s how I covered and sealed my floor in glitter: Supplies: 1 garage floor coating kit (found at home improvement stores) 2 paint rollers, handle, 2 trays 1 scrub brush for cleaning the floor before you start 1 bucket and mop 6-8 jars of chunky glitter, bowl 1 brush for edging 1 gallon of water-based polyurethane varnish, high gloss Fans, open windows!

Find it, Make it, Love it: 5 Gallon Bucket Seat. We are finally getting some warm and even hot weather!!

Linking up at these parties: Socktopuses. Hand-stamped wrapping paper. September is a month of birthdays for us. I'm a little behind, but have been trying to catch up this week. I selected a few small things to send to a faraway friend before realizing I somehow have no wrapping paper, bags, or boxes in this house (a rare thing!).

Yesterday everyone was calm enough to allow me a tiny sliver of time to create-and I used it to get on the floor with some pieces of plain brown packing paper, a pencil eraser, and a black ink pad. So simple, fun, and addicting! If I had been able to locate my exacto I could've changed things up by cutting the eraser into a triangle or something similar.

Weaving Danish Heart Baskets for Jul. Happy Jul everybody! The Christmas season in Denmark is called Jul, (pronounced “Yule”) and starts on December 1 with a variety of traditions, foods and activities that will continue until the evening of December 24th, a day known as Juleaften.

I come from a long line of Scandinavians. We’ve got Norwegians, Danes and Swedes in the bloodline, so I tend to cherry-pick the traditions, foods and activities my ancestors participated in, and bring only my favorites into everyday life. For example, I do not condone the practice of raping and pillaging villagers/villages like my Viking ancestors did, but DO think that the Viking burial ceremony of sending the body of the deceased out to sea, in a boat stuffed with supplies for the afterworld, while all his friends and neighbors shoot burning arrows at the boat from the shoreline until the boat catches fire and sinks is pretty awesome, and the way I would like to be buried, thank you.
