So I have this thing for Octopuses


If someone had a dollar for every time I mention the word, ‘Pinterest’, they would be a high rollin’ millionaire by now. Now, let’s add one more dollar to that tally… 

If you know me, and know me well, you know that I love clean lines and modern pop art. But I am not an artist. So what started as – me wanting a painting of an Octopus for my bedroom – turned into – Damn! I can’t afford real art! Better head to Pinterest for some inspiration so I can make it myself. 

Here is what I stumbled on: http://bit.ly/J65Svk

Next step: gather the troops. My favorite craft buddy happens to be the same lady that gave birth to me, so I waited for her to visit to start this project. It was a great idea. She’s so damn crafty!

900 thumbtacks* later, I now am a proud owner of an Octopus!

*Silver thumbtacks are just as hard to find as a car without 15 stickers on Colorado.
