The spanish cover of achy-breaky heart was fairly amusing, but the 2am version of 'Gangnam Style' (possibly in Korean, but probably in gibberish that approximated Korean) was a travesty that should be counted in the great crimes against humanity. Seeing the 70+ year old ladies rocking out at 3am was pretty impressive though. Rock on with your bad selves ladies! Just please do it more quietly.<br />

I've been getting back into sketching lately... here's some quick sketches from around Valencia. I'm trying to get out with my sketchbook more often, and I'll be posting the results each Sunday. Hopefully this will shame me into practicing more :)Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01293766481385984880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510143884720495849.post-38969897231441896982013-05-19T06:15:00.000-07:002013-05-19T09:35:47.391-07:00DIY Hanging Plant Holder<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Say you live downtown in a gorgeous, temperate mediterranean
city in walking distance of most amenities and a new metro system for anything
that’s not.</span><br />
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Obviously, you don’t own a car, but who would this be a
problem for? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apparently, me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aaron and I live in Valencia, Spain on a two year temporary
contract. This is relevant for a few reasons:</span></div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We didn’t want to drop a lot of money on furniture,
and shipping from Canada was going to be <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stupid
expensive, </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">so </span>I caved, and in the interest of sanity, I agreed to let my
husband look for a furnished apartment so we could have somewhere to live (I was still wrapping things up in Canada at the time). I am so very magnanimous.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most furnished apartments have furniture which could be generously called <i>hideous</i>.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thrift stores are not a thing in Spain.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is no IKEA here. Oh, the inhumanity.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Approximately 99% of hardware stores here are located in the vast, sprawling suburban areas around the city. I love hardware stores to an unhealthy degree, which is why I was thrilled when I finally found a decently-sized BriCor in one of the ubiquitous department stores downtown.</span></li>
</ol>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We bought some plants from an outdoor stand shortly after we
moved in, to give the apartment a little color. The plastic stool I had been
using as a makeshift plant-stand was not only ugly, but also way too big for
the corner between the wall and the table. One afternoon after Spanish class,
the ugliness became too much, and in a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>poorly planned frenzy, I decided to do something about it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A plant. Something unkillable like a
philodendron is ideal if you forget to water your plants for months on end like
me.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>Some sturdy cord, I chose a neutral brown for this
project, but next time, I’m adding in a string of neon yellow.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A shelf bracket with predrilled holes.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>Basic tools (scissors, screws & screwdriver,
anchors if needed, tape measure, tape or chalk).</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Optional, decorative pot. Let’s be honest.
You wouldn’t be reading this if you were happy with the plastic pot the plant
came in.</span></li>
</ol>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mount the bracket at the desired height, using anchors if
your plant is heavy, or if your walls are crap. Measure the distance you want
your plant to hang.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut the cord into three equal sections, twice the length you want your plant to hang, with additional length for braiding. I cut mine into 5ft
long lengths, for a hanging distance of about 30 inches from the bracket to the
bottom of the pot. Then mark off the center of each cord with a piece of tape or a
chalk mark.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Measure the pot circumference about a half inch above the
bottom. Lay your cords in a triangle with the perimeter measuring a half inch
less that the pot measurement (this may need to be more depending on the
stretch of your cord). Knot securely at the corners of the triangle.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fit the triangle around the base of the pot. Then take
strings A and B and knot them at the lip of the pot. Repeat with cords C and D, and E and F.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Water your plant. If you're anything like me, it probably needs it. Put it in the pot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gather all the strings about 18 inches above the pot and knot. Braid all strings together to create rope to the bracket, I braided with strands of 2 strings, but a
fishtail braid would work as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use a chair or stool to support the pot as you knot the cord
ends through the pre-drilled hole in the bracket. Cut off any excess cord after the knot is secure. </span></div>
