Heather’s Blog

Ok so I really have nothing blog worthy, but thought to show you the latest additions to my place thanks to Angela. Some of the benefits from helping your dear friend move and she is moving in with her fiance.

In the short period of time that I have had this I have received so many complements on this computer armoire. I made sure to make room for it. (sorry for the blurriness)

I’ve loved this shelf ever since I first saw it in Angela’s bathroom. So I made sure to snag it up, I just recently put the live plant (need to place it in a nice pot though) and still need to remove the ohh so obvious fake plant.

And of course i can never have to many candle holders, which I still need to get candles for, these are in my bedroom.

Thank you Angela and Adrian I love you both so very much.

When you go and buy furniture from Ikea, you can expect two things. First of them very low in price, and second which usually always goes with the first… Low in quality. I’ve had this coffee table for a lil over a year. Matter of fact it’s my second one in two years, the first one broke right away. But I got another cause I have two end tables that go with it, and they kinda blend in with my furniture in my living room. Anyhow, so this table has been on it’s last leg (no pun intended) for a while now. It holds our stuff on it, but it’s very unstable. Every time I have to move it to vacuum, I’m so afraid it’s just going to collapse.

So the other day I came up with the grand idea of how I can keep it up and going just a lil longer. I’ll go to my local Home Depot and get some braces and screws and give the legs more support to the top. But just be warned I never said I was Bob Vila, I’m more like Tim Allen’s character from the old Home Improvement show.

The parts I purchased.. let’s see $7 and some change or $80 and up for a new one (and remembering that your broke)?

The table in question

These are the candles, wait it looks more like a gob of wax with the rocks mixed in on top of the table, this is what happens when you decided to burn cheap candles for too long.

Last night while waiting for a friend of mine I decided to have some nice me time. I lite candles through out the house, had incense burning and music playing while I sat and relaxed while sipping on a lil something. Wanted to share two of my candle holders I have mounted on my wall from PartyLite.

Sorry it’s not real steady…

Martha F-ing Stuart? I think not! But I tried to be and soon to be discovered that I failed miserably. Friday was my party night (will post that in a few days when I get pictures together from Angela and Erin). So I decided to attempt to make chocolate covered strawberries. First I go to the store and buy all the things I needed. But the store had a horrible and I mean a horrible selection of strawberries. So I decided to do cherries, YUM! So here my attempt…

12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate morsels melted (I used the microwave for one minute)
¾ cup of half and half
3-4 tablespoons of Brandy (optional)
And one big bag of cherries or strawberries

Here are the ingredients, minus the cherries

My cherries dipped in chocolate, should have stopped here

Here is when I went from being a possible candidate as guest on the Martha show to WTF were you thinking. I decided that since I had some bananas and whipped cream to add them to my plate. Now had I been serving this right away I’m sure it wouldn’t have been such a failure, but I wasn’t. I should have known that the bananas would go a lil funky from sitting in the fridge and I should have known the whipped cream would melt. But also knew that I would have forgotten to take the pictures of it all before serving had a waited.

I had put whipped cream on it and placed it in the freezer to get the chocolate to harden quicker and attempt to keep the whipped cream in it’s place. But five minutes later I realized I forgot to take a picture of it. So ran into the kitchen to get it out and snap away. Well the whipped cream had already melted a little so I had to place more on it for the picture. As you can see I messed up with the freaking whipped cream and obviously I have no perfection skills…

Ok after deciding that I don’t think my bedroom will ever fully be completely decorated I’m going to share it with you all. And yes today I finally broke what I wrote in a previous post regarding no electronics in the bedroom and purchased a stereo for it. I decided that I NEED music in my room for many reasons (which I care to keep personal, haha). I purchased one that was a little bigger then I would of liked to have but it had the best sound. I’m really picky about my music and the the way it sounds. One of my favorite things about it besides that it plays MP3 disc is that it has a USB port on the front to hook up Ipods, and other storage devices. Specially since you can load up a media card alot quicker then burning a disc.

Anyhow here is my bedroom before move in

Here is my bedroom today, I hate the white walls with a passion..

Why do pictures never do anything justice. I tell ya my bed looks so much nicer then this photo shows…

And cause I have nothing better to do right now close ups lol. Can you tell I love candles?
