Adjust

So thought about this post after I already completed the project and forgot to take pics.. Simply put it is a how to on how to change the length of of a metal wristwatch band.

First off avoid buying any tools.. ya don't need em.

Secondly what you do need is a 1) a pair of pliers 2) a hammer 3) a few thumb tacks

Third take the tack place it on the pin on the wristwatch band and place something underneath it.. take your hammer and tap and tap until the pin becomes dislodged.

Fourth take your pliers and pull the pin out..

Fifth repeat the 3rd step on the additional links..

Sixth take the pin you pulled out and place it into the new connections ya want and VOILA' how to change the length on your metal wristwatch band.. it's easy I promise!!

cheese tray

Ok so we have all seen them. The old cheese trays that we oogle a bit handle and end up putting back on the shelf at our local thrift stores.. I love cheese, and I love MCM but sometimes it's a bit too dated for my taste. I.E. those HORRID tiles that are ALWAYS on the beautiful wooden teak trays.. so, I decided to try and experiment. I scored a pretty tray for 10 cents that had a damaged tile. Took it home, removed the old tiles, light sand followed by teak oil followed by feed-n-wax and some new tiles and VOILA! Beautiful cheese tray with tiles that are much more my taste! enjoy and snag up those trays and make them beautiful again!

Thrifting

So, out and about thrifting today.. way too F-ing hot to do any DIY today.. (102 farenheit) so we bounced around some thrift stores.. scored a beauty of a lil danish MCM side table, a light sand, some teak oil, and a feed-n-wax and it's gorgeous O and did I tell ya? It was TWO dollars!! *does a happy way too hot sweaty dance*. Also found some pretty MCM dressers but I don't do the blonde wood and can't bring myself to sand and restain something that it is already beautiful!

P.S. Sorry for the crappy Iphone pics.. too hot and lazy to look for my camera!

DIY

SOON VERY SOON, I will build a diy from upcycled salvaged wood MCM modern bench and other outdoor goodies for the yard WOOT! pics will follow soon I promise..

Thrifty

Scored two MCM telephone tables, that are now sitting on either side of the bed and are BEAUTIFUL! Got em both for 20 dollars for the pair! WOOT also at the thrift store they had a MCM side table, a danish-esque chair in need of some serious repair, and a shell chair,.. sadly *CRIES* I didn't have room for them... but I know some friends are gonna snag em up! Also since I had a day off I installed a clothesline in the backyard so I can put this crazy ass Oklahoma wind to use!

Check this out.. (btw ignore me in the mirror couldn't find a good angle with the iphone) Beautiful glass green tiles, and bentwood chairs.. now can you guess where this might be? it's a place that is freeking everywhere in the world...

GAW!! I love glass tiles...

It's a fucking McDonald's crazy shit!

Since graduating, I have been in classes even more often it seems, Orientations, ACLS, etc.. anyways here are some of the wonderful things that have either been given to me or I have scoured and found since graduating and being UBER proud of myself..

Search and rescue knife, very nice, also a Rn zippo...
This is called a Gren-Aide watch, it's modelled after watches that Medics used in WWII to cover the watch face so the glare from the watch wouldn't give away the soldiers location.

AND!! this is a BEAUTIFUL vintage RN belt buckle that my lovely girl got me..
