I Am A Crafty Bitch
I bought this years and years ago as decoration and in a pinch, for Christmas. I don't do all the garish Christmas, or any other, holiday decoration and this was discreet enough for me. It's a Holly Ball and I hung it in my kitchen. Before the surgery I decided to turn it into a chandelier for the bedroom, to give me something more interesting to look at than the standard-issue rental fixture from the 99 Cent store with that high-sheen brass base.

It's a little freaky, I like it.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it isn't a fire hazard?
Day, not so bad, but night, creepy. No wonder those little children are so freaked out. ;)
ReplyDeleteHmm...I was thinking fire hazard also...it's all those years of childproofing that have taken over my brain.
ReplyDeleteNo fire hazard, the bulb hangs in the middle, away from any twigs. I've had it on for hours at a time with not even a whiff of smoke or burn! It's also 60 w.
ReplyDeleteYou really want to scare the little kids and neighbors alike, put a strobe light inside that thing. And then leave the blinds open at night when it's on.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it look like at night with the lights off?
ReplyDeletejami, GREAT idea.
ReplyDeleteTommy, are you getting funnier or am I taking too much Vicodin?
I am probably being bizarre, and I've had a couple glasses of wine, but it kind of looks like a birdseye view of a clown's head -Do you have a lava lamp, that would be soothing . . .
ReplyDeletepomnot, I have an old red lava lamp an ex bf gave me.
ReplyDeleteThe night one looks like something they may have accidentally removed during your surgery! The day one is nice though.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenn - now I'm sure I'll have nightmares of radioactive tumors!
ReplyDeleteI like the night one. It makes me think of flashlight, hand puppets and a bottle of Tequila.
ReplyDeleteJust wandered over from the madmad housewife. And I'm INDIGNANT!
ReplyDeleteWhen I had my VERY BIG foot surgery, they didn't tell me about the Roller-Aid!! My God!! I was on crutches for months.
Oh sorry. This is your blog.Funny Stuff! Hope your surgery went well and you are recovering nicely. If I have to have the other foot done, can I borrow your Roller Aid?
hey little miss sunshine state, the Roller Aid is a rental and it costs $130 a month! I'm just now starting to use crutches but since I live alone I can't be monitored so it's better to have the roller. It's distributed by Footsteps of El Segundo, CA. I can hardly wait to be all crutches all the time.
ReplyDeleteI know someone who had a growth that looked like that.
