TN Time

I'm about to board a flight back to DC after spending some time at home in Tennessee. Not much time for crafting of late with holidays and work and whatnot, but I thought I'd share some glimpses into my time at home (also available for viewing on instagram @fabricpaperglue).

Good family time. A little friend time. Some reading and gaming. And unfortunately, some hospital time with my mom, but she's on the upswing.

Hopefully, I will be back soon with some holiday crafting--including some fun gifts and a party!

Reminder: Cyber Monday going on in my Etsy shop right now. 20 percent off everything with the code XMAS20OFF. http://www.etsy.com/shop/fabricpaperglue

Zardoz Piñata

Has anyone ever seen Zardoz?  If you've never seen this movie, I'm not sure how much you can fully appreciate the ridiculousness of this project.  Basically, the movie features a scantily-clad Sean Connery jaunting around in a post-apocalyptic, yet oh-so-psychedelic world of-sorts.  It's ridiculous.

Exhibit A:

It's been labeled "The Worst Movie of All Time" by more than one internet source.  There's even a drinking game that requires you to drink at such sightings as a floating disembodied head, a special effect you could recreate in your own home, and boobs.  Let's just say that following the rules of the game would get you wasted.  Alright, I think you get it.

Anyway, I'm not sure that I should admit this on the world wide web, but for some reason or another, my coworkers and I believed this movie (having never seen it ) would be a hilarious opportunity for some extracurricular bonding.  Yeah, my coworkers and I watched this movie together.  It was both traumatizing and bond-cementing.

Fast forward several months, and my boss is leaving us for bigger and better things.  Another long story, but the occasion calls for a piñata.  Not only does it call for a piñata, but I have been looking for an occasion to make a piñata after drooling over the creations of Confetti System and following the lovely tutorials on Oh Happy Day.

You know what this means, right?  Zardoz piñata, of course!  Look at this guy.  He's just begging to be piñatatized (yes, that's a word).

So, I followed the easier-than-you-would-expect instructions provided by Jordan on Oh Happy Day, and check out this bad boy.

And look, the mouth opens!  Not only is this super convenient, but if you've seen the movie, you'll understand why this is oh-so relevant.

And since this project was, in large part, instigated by the inspirational projects and creations that I pinned over on Pinterest, I'm linking up to the Fall Pinterest Challenge co-hosted by House of Earnest, Young House Love, Bower Power, and Ana White.  Yay.
