kooky comrades - a little kooky

Projects, lessons, tips and tricks from equally-kooky friends & family members. (I have a lot of them.)

Mom

Meet my Mom.

 

I collect things. Though others might say I’m a bit of a hoarder. But if it wasn’t for my ‘hoarding’ of ribbons, fabric and well, everything, I probably wouldn’t have created half the things that I have. And who knows, maybe my daughter wouldn’t be as interested in the things that she is if it wasn’t for me.”

Meet my Aunt Sue.

 

“70% of my home decor was acquired—or rather, not purchased by choice. And when I say 70%, I mean that I pulled that number out of the air. That said, I love each and every piece in my home (ok, some more than others), because I made those acquired pieces my own. There’s something very gratifying about doing the work yourself. And cheap. Cheap is gratifying, too.”

Meet my cousin, Ashley.

 

“I have always loved DIY. I remember being about 5 and asking my parents for some wood, nails and a hammer because I wanted to build my own little house in the backyard! Since then, I’ve been determined to prove that I can, and will, do whatever it takes to make any creation I dream up come to life—with my own two hands, of course. Plus, designing on a dime makes it that much more fun!”
