happy new year

Posted on January 1, 2011 by thirdstoryies
I’m really excited to be typing this particular post (post 999 to be exact) on our brand new iPad. I’m also excited that we dodged a bullet at home with some freakish winter tornadoes – I can’t imagine the kind of cleanup headaches some are facing this first day of the new year. What a nightmare.
Since I’m just working my around on this thing, and can’t figure out yet how to do some formatting things that I normally do, I think I’ll just surf around and find some cool ideas for bookshelves. We’re swimming in books, and have book storage on the brain. I’ll save the resolutions for another day – there’s way too much good stuff to eat still!
This might be my first sewing project I tackle this year.  E falls asleep nightly on top of the books she’s reading – I’d love to have this little pouch to hang off the side of her bed for her nightly reads.
We don’t really have this set up in their rooms, but I thought this was a nifty, easy way to get some (soft) book storage close at hand.
Also cool – lots of storage in a small footprint, although I might feel a bit like we’ve moved into a Borders.
Just cool – no way around it. 
And from the category of cool, cheap ideas – the instant library with rain gutters.  Brilliant.
