Feature on Apartment Therapy
Once again, I am amazed at the power of Twitter. I recently tweeted to Flor (@FLOR_ ) that I am now using a sample carpet tile as my mouse and they were kind enough to retweet my message. From their retweet Apartment Therapy (@Apttherapy) posted it on their blog and twitter.
I LOVE IT! Twitter is very powerful.
P.S. This is the best mousepad I have ever had.

DIY Ottoman From Scratch
This was my first attempt at building an ottoman from scratch. I am so proud of how it turned out. Since I was making it up on the spot I don't have great narrative instructions but next time I will detail out the step-by-step. I did take photos of the process that visually explains what I did.
Items Needed:
Wood (saw to cut wood or have wood cut at hardware store)
Wood Screws
Wood Glue
Foam (cut to size)
Fabric
Spray Adhesive
Sewing Machine
Measuring Tape
