How To Make DIY Lazy Suzan Turntable Shoe Rack
>> More DIY Ideas <<
I came across this Lazy Susan rotating shoe storage rack on Amazon today. It looks really a good fit for my door way. My shoes are all over the floor! However, my second thought was whether I could make one myself… too much into DIY?! 🙁 🙂
Luckly, after some digging, I found the tutorial to make the exact shoe rack. Hooray! Money saved for other stuff… but wait a minute… is this an advanced project? Should I think further before jumping in?
Anyway, the bottom line is that, this is a great shoe rack that can get my room better organized and help me find my shoes easier. It won't go wrong either making one or getting one on Amzon. Either way, my shoes will be in better order!

Galicia, Spain
I studied abroad in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia. The small historic town is known for its old cathedral where Saint Apostle James visited and where people who walk the Camino de Santiago come as their final destination. There's a shrine of St. James and his tome is also buried in this city. Legend has it that St. James was carried from Jerusalem all the way to Santiago de Compostella. That's why people embark on this same walk to find their own spiritual journey. So you see the town is really spiritual because of the close historical connection to Christianity. Every summer, around July 19 ( also the start to Leo season ;)) there's a huge festival honoring St. James and people come from all over the world to partake in the celebration. It's a week long street festival that goes on all night and all day. I remember walking through the festival at night with this Spanish guy I sort of had a crush on and buying cotton candy. We just enjoyed the summer night, walking through the city, stopping at bars to party along the way. Descending and ascending stairways to get to different parts of the town I had not seen at night and was a little frightened to venture off by myself in fear of getting lost. Imagine having to ask for directions in Spanish, but speaking in Galego. I spent three months in this city and all I have to show for it his the language countless of stories and a few pieces of ethnic clothing I bought on the street.

Will Gregory
William Owen "Will" Gregory (born keyboardist, producer, and composer of the electronic music duo Goldfrapp.17 September 1959) is an English musician and record producer. He is best known as the lead
Will Gregory
|Birth name
|William Owen Gregory
|17 September 1959
Bristol, England
|Electronic, synthpop, Western orchestral / chamber
|Musician, record producer
|Keyboard, synthesizer, oboe, saxophone
|Years active
|Associated acts
|Tears for Fears, Goldfrapp
Early lifeEdit
Gregory was born in Bristol,[1] the son of an actress and an opera chorus-line singer.[2]
"I got into music kind of by default as it was the only thing I was good at – I was the weird one at school who practiced the piano during lunch break. In my teens I met other musicians and was so relieved to find some like-minds that I think I never wanted to leave the 'weird' muso club – perhaps it's the same for many musicians. I ended up playing oboe and then moved on to sax, which got me into diverse musical disciplines."[3]
He studied Western orchestral and chamber music at the University of York.[4]
In the 1980s, Gregory predominantly recorded and toured with Tears for Fears.[5]
In the 1990s, Gregory performed with artists including Peter Gabriel, The Cure, and Portishead, as well as playing oboe for Tori Amos and recording with Paula Rae Gibson.[6] In 1991, he played saxophone with the London Sinfonietta for the Paris début of John Adams's opera Nixon in China.[7] In 1999, vocalist Alison Goldfrapp and Gregory formed the duo Goldfrapp. The pairing has led to international critical, popular, and commercial success.[8]
In the 2000s, as well as Goldfrapp activities, he played saxophone on Portishead's 2008 album Third (on the tracks "Magic Doors" and "Threads").
On 31 March 2011, Gregory's first opera, Piccard in Space, premiered at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. The Hattie Naylor libretto focused on Auguste Piccard and Paul Kipfer's first balloon ascent, and the theories of Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, both of whom are characters in the drama. The reviews were generally negative.[9]
On 11 March 2013, a newly commissioned baroquesque Gregory work (for orchestra and Moog, based on a sarabande of Johann Sebastian Bach) was performed at The Roundhouse in London. The performance was part of BBC Radio 3's Baroque Remixed series, which also included a piece by Matthew Herbert.[10]
Gregory's other saxophone work includes playing with Apollo Saxophone Quartet, Spiritualized, and Michael Nyman.[11]
He composed the music for the 2017 series Spy in the Wild.

Surviving: One month in
You'll end up terrified, when your friends reach for a cube, and when you reach for the door......
In Surviving: One Month In, you aren't some ninja zombie slaying wizard.
You are taking charge of a group of survivors and bending them to your whim to reclaim buildings, search potentially zombie filled rooms and generally do your bidding
Fight the zombies, fight your friends
It's PvPvE
Surviving: One month in Is FUNDED! Next stop in the Apocalypse
Surviving: around the web
In the box
The Game Explained
The game in a nutshell. You control a group of survivors, not just one ninja of the apocalypse. You control your team to try and take back as much of the city before the infection ends.
Then you can reign as king over the post-apocalyptic city. So how do you do this?
Gameplay video
Forgot to mention in the video:
- Once a hex has been reclaimed, the hex acts as a single large hex instead of an inner and outer hex.
- Other players can take your hex's by spending the number of action points required to reclaim the building.
- Once a building has been reclaimed. The loot in that building can only be claimed by the team that owns the building.
- You do not have to reclaim a building to loot the building.
- In the basic rules, the only way to escape zombies is to spend an action point leaving the building for each survivor. If a survivors has no more action points then they are too tired, and they cannot escape the zombies. They must stay and fight.
Written explanation
Each turn, each survivor has 1 action which can be spent on either
Moving – moving one hex
Reclaiming the building – Boarding up the windows so it is safe again and you can lay down your flag to claim your victory points
Searching rooms – Each building has a set number of rooms you can search. What will you find, supplies? Survivors? Or the dreaded 10 zombie card!
And if on a park (farm) tile, then you can farm – One survivor can choose to spend an action point to farm.
Farming? I hear you ask, well in the game once you have reclaimed a park, it is used to produce food. You can spend food at the start of your turn to give 3 survivor 2 action points that turn making them "well fed and ready for zombie carnage" However you can actively farm a park tile, spending a survivors action point.
This means that at the start of your next turn that farm produces 2 food instead of 1.
The game can end in 4 ways:
The research centre is reclaimed (the cure has been found and the outbreak is over)
The military base is reclaimed (More guns than any one army could need, you are left with a city flooded with zombie soup)
When a group of survivors has reclaimed and spends one turn actively farming 5 farms (who needs to worry about zombies when you have fresh veg and steak every day)
Or finally if one player reaches 50 Victory points before any of the other conditions are met
However it is the player with the most Victory points that reigns king. So be careful before you cure the infection.
Victory Points
So what are worth victory points:
Buildings - worth the number of victory points indicated by the yellow number in the top right corner.
Survivors – worth 1 victory point each
When the game ends every 2 supplies card is worth 1 Victory point
What else can you use supplies for?
Throughout the game you can trade in 2 of your supplies to give one survivor:
Armour – decrease an attackers dice roll by one
Weapon – Increase one of your attacking die rolls by one
Or you can build a wall. A wall will stop zombies and must be destroyed by attacking survivors before they can pass.
Combat in Surviving is simple. Survivors attack first. You roll a die for each survivor. Each die roll of 4,5 or 6 kills a zombie. Then any zombies left roll a die each to attack the survivors. A zombie must roll a 5 or 6 to kill a survivor.
Repeat until all zombies are dead or all survivors are dead or have run away.
That is it. Simple rules so if someone hasn't played before they can jump in and within one or two goes they are as clued in as everyone.
Check out the standard rules HERE, simple and quick to learn. So you can spend more time playing.
Advanced Rules
However if you like to add complexity or you want to spice up the game. Add in some advanced rules:
Human sacrifice – choose to leave one survivor in the building so that everyone else can escape. Then roll 5 dice at once, if the total is 29 or more then the survivor manages to escape as well.
Decoy – Zombies getting too much for you, throw down some food. 1 food will distract up to 3 zombies, while your survivors escape.
Cannibalism – Just found 3 new survivors in a room, running out of food? Turn one of those survivors into 3 food, or if your team is particularly hungry turn all 3 into 9 food.
Zombie swarm – If you escape zombies, at the start of your next turn move all of the zombies to where you moved last turn. They will keep following until you run to the other side of one of your walls or when you regroup and fight. (This can also be used to charge a swarm of 10+ zombies into the enemy base)
Queen of the hill - game mode - One player starts in the middle with 20 survivors. The three other players are on one team and cannot attack each other. Their aim to eliminate the Queen of the hill. The queen's aim, to eliminate them.
And many more advanced rules adding realism and complexity to the game in ways you want. Letting you have the huge zombie carnage fest, or the full on survivor vs survivor experience.
So far
I've been working with Panda games who have a track record of producing great quality board games. Helping keep costs low so I can bring you the game at a great price on Kickstarter and also so that I can ensure the game I've developed is made with the great quality I want you to experience as soon as you open up the box. The fantastic pixel art you see before you was drawn by Paul Stride-Noble a phenomenal artist and an absolute pleasure to work with. He helped turn my mad ideas for a board game into a reality. Taking my hand drawn scrappy images into the great art you see in the game.
For additional copies of the game Simply add -£30-$45- to your pledge
Risks and challenges
The risk in this project would be ensuring the quality control of the manufactured product, was as high as I want the product to be when it is opened by you for the first time. However working with Panda Games Manufacturing they have a back catalog of great high quality games they have helped people and companies produce. So if there is a problem in production there will be no hesitation in correcting it to ensure a prompt delivery.
We want you playing this game as fast as possible and we want it to last as long as possible. Back this project and we'll make sure that happens.

I am feeling pretty flu-ey today. No wit in this brain. Where is my kitty?
I am going to make like Holly Golightly and sleep. Goodnight all,
I am feeling pretty flu-ey today. No wit in this brain. Where is my kitty?
I am going to make like Holly Golightly and sleep. Goodnight all,
Just for the record. I am a baker. I bake. Quite well.
Exhibit (A)
What I do not claim to be is a cook. Mr. Cupcake is the chef of the house. He is quite good too. I am grateful for his skillz. Yo. So Mr. C and I were watching TV one night and we were captivated by old reruns of Julia Child's cooking show. We were instantly in love with her. One of the best episodes is where she is teaching all about all the different chicken sizes and their uses. Just great. I really wanted to get her book, you know the one. The one used in the adorable movie Julie and Julia. I love that movie! It really disillusioned me into thinking I could follow her recipes too! Well the adorable Rocketgirl herself gifted me the book! It is so cute! So, thank you RG for the wonderful treat! But it scares me beyond the cover.
Thank you so much for this RG! I will need some prayer...from a lot of folks for my cooking adventures to come...
I got in trouble from Rocketgirl for being a bad blogger. I already know that I have been bad. But, I have sorta been 'frozen' for the last week. Numb if you will. But yesterday I recieved the thawing news and I am no longer numb. Thank you Baby Jesus. I love you Mom!!!! *wipes brow AGAIN!*
So, back to normal then. I have so many projects I could start. Sewing ones, refinishing ones and flooring ones. Gardening ones. Mr. Cupcake will be starting to put into action his backyard blueprints. He has designed a cute little raised flower bed at the back of the yard :) Two levels of pretty flowers and shrubs...I will definately blogument that. Can't wait to see it unfold. And to plant some pretty flowers. Stay tuned for that :)
If you can believe it, I have to bake a cake tomorrow after a night shift and before a night shift. I usually LOVE baking-but this happy little baker is not up to it tomorrow...but it has to be done. And I will not lick the batter bowl after either. (I honestly don't generally do this!) Alas, it will get done, my partner in crime will finish it off and it will look beautiful.
Off to work...check charts and all that good Nursey stuff...
Good night lovelies...
It's been a few days and I feel like I have been a bad blogger friend. I finally came a stretch of yet another three night shifts. After the laist shift I slept (napped really) for three hours and went to a wonderful TRIFECTA fun filled day. We went for a spot of tea at Serendipitea's and lovely lunch. Of course after that we went to a very favorite little shop Roses and Rutabagas to look at all the beautiful things Rosie has there. I could honestly spend an entire cheque in there in under 10 minutes flat. Next we went over to Home Sense. I found some beautiful white lamp shades (that are too big for my lamps-but hey! They were $9.99 for 2!! What a deal-so I will put them away for a rainy day. Them I found a beautiful white duvet cover and sham set. Full of ruffles and a fine lace/eyelet detail in between the ruffles. Mr. Cupcake thinks it is 'OK" but I admit, it's completely girlie. Therefore, it will likely be on the guest bed in my multi purpose guest bed. We visited Fannies and Michaels as well. Lovely lovely day.
Yesterday I spent the day with Mr. Cupcake looking at hardwood flooring. We are planning a new floor install and we found out we can only use engineered hardwood. Which is ok, we just want to get the best price. Something in a darker wood and not oak. Mr. Cupcake doesnt like the grain in oak, and honestly, I don't care so he can have this one :) So, the search continues...
Today was much of the same, looked at flooring and shopped for my Mommy's bday prezzy. We are going for a Birthday party of sorts later today. Can't wait-I love my Mom.
We also looked at landscaping ideas and Mr Cupcake has hit a home run with the design...I love his idea so I think we will go for it. I will chronicle that for sure :) Stay tuned for the first change in the back yard: Part 1 of "Project Pet Cemetery" Sounds scary and gross I know, but you will understand when I get to the post. Last but certainly not least, I finally put on the hardware for my desk. Rosie, I used both for sparkle factor ;) the room is not finished nor is the desk accessorized. But here is a quick snappy I took:
Enjoy your Victoria Day! xoxo
This is really an attempt to cheer myself up. These lil sweetums may work. They are a treasure in my hubby's family and we currently have them in house. They are highly sought after coveted items! honest...family fights ensue when they get brought out at Christmases...random Christmases...
Meet The Sunshine Girls!
indeed lets...
Mr C and I were terrible side tracked today whilst organizing upstairs. We were taking a coffee break and Mr C said to me "Come outside for a sec and help me trim the front bush/shrub." So I did and now it is GONE. We yanked that sucker! So much more light comes in through the front window now. . Now....what do we do now? I need help, inspiration, ideas, and well...help (oh I already said that). So here is the obligatory before and after of the front area of our home.
Any ideas????? Garden or sitting cafe bistro type area? Or both!??
Seek and ye shall find. And behold...My true blue friend.
So she is not THE blue therefore she will be painted...stripped and painted a crisp white :) Stay tuned for her transformation.
And my favorite find of the day? One of my beloved milk glass desires! An ice bucket/cookie jar!
And something old in blue:
Are they not lovely? Such a beautiful color...
Such a productive and fun day. Deuces.
Wow-I'm up early...on a day off. I think I am excited about Rocketgirl and Ms Cupcakes grand adventures today. Today promises to be jam packed and not disappoint! First stop: Fort Langley Antique mall. I love going to Fort Langley...so many memories there. I married my sweetheart in Fort Langley (sounds like a bumper sticker).
After a visit to the Antique Mall (and the LWH) we are heading over to IKEA and BBB. I have a few things on my WISH list that I may pick up. Want to look at some garden chairs, napkins, cupcakes liners and a throw...There is also a lovely duvet I wish to check out.
After this, we.... WAIT! Where is the coffee in all of this? We need to fit a Starbucks in there somewhere...Americano-extra hot thank you.
Ok, back on track-some glorious time after 6pm...I pick up my true blue buffet/hutch. Honestly, I am over the moon about this in anticipation...I have high hopes for her. Beautiful!!
Last but not least, I have been putting the finishing touches on my desk...I just really need hardware...and I know a little store that has lovely bits and bobs! anyhow...I don't think gelato is in my future today...but that would certainly make the day cest manifique!
Have a sparkly day!
Dear Rocketgirl,
Thank you for finding this super fly buffet/hutch and bringing it to my attention!
love me.
Action STAT, come Thursday I should have this sweet hue'd hutch in my dinning area :)
Fingers crossed it actually IS all solid wood (hear that before and behold! Oh what's that? it's particle/press board??) she is all mine!! Without further aBLUE, I mean, ado...here she is:
How am I supposed to contain myself?? Will I paint over her? White with distressing showing the blue through? New hardware I think...Ohh this is bliss...Simple Pleasures. Cake plates will look lovely on here...I may have one or two...
tick tock...faster please...I can hear my bed calling my name. I can not wait to sleep in a bit today on my turn around day. But as per usual, I have plans for my SUNNY days off. Of course, there are always painting projects to work on, sewing projects (I have a new bee in my bonnet) and well heck it's NURSING WEEK people! I have a lovely potluck to go to on Wednesday to celebrate my profession and my lovely co-workers. We are such a great team and I can't wait to spend some off duty time together. After all, I am, apparently a "ring leader". As if.
My closet TV addiction has reared it's ugly (awesome) head again and I was able to watch multiple episodes on my break. Forgot how much I secretly love the show. NO, I am NOT telling you all what it is. OK, well, it might have the word Hills in it...potentially...it could.
All signs point to a 20 degree day today (Tuesday) so I will be sun tanning and painting if you need me. Don't worry, I have sun block. But will this sun block lotion do anything for m numb finger?? It is still numb after 5 days post refinishing. Permanent nerve damage? I doubt it...just really squished nerves...flat.
Las Vegas...can I come visit you?? Oh I miss your warm weather, pools, shopping and shows. And Sheshwan. Shezshwan. oh whatev...Sky bar. The View. And secret Krispy Kremes. Shh don't tell. I would enjoy a nice vacay...Le Sigh.
Sun sun GLORIOUS sun! At long last a full day of sunshine. You all know I have been patiently (ok so maybe not so patient) for good painting weather. Well thank you Baby Jesus! And Mother Nature. It's about time! So, what did I get up to today? Well, I had so much fun completely refinishing the chair a co-worker gifted me. Thanks to a wonderful palm sander from Mr Cupcakes best buddy I wsa ready to start. Sanded and primed I was finally ready for paint! My paint and primer combo: KILZ primer (followed by light sanding) and my weapon of choice...white spray paint! GLORIOUS!
Rocketgirl came by for a visit and we decided to high tail it to Fabricland to pick out my seat cushion fabric. I had actually been looking at this fabric the last 2 times I was there...lovin it up.
Here she is BEFORE her makeover:
Up close and personal with the cutest turquoise fabric:
I also worked on my desk-I was SOOOO productive today (well, the house work had to wait) but look at all this goodness!! Primer-ed!!
And if all this wasn't enough excitement...MY BFF is currently in labour!!! I can't handle the waiting!!!!! I think she is having a girl...but soon we will know for certain. I can't wait to meet this bundle! CANNOT WAIT!!!
Back to reality tomorrow for 4 shifts...Have a beautiful weekend :)
LOOK at what I found!!!!!
I cant hardly wait to read it and thumb gingerly through the pages! I know that some of my favorite Blogs are featured!! So excited so I will leave you with a promise to disclose some goodies I find during my read through.
Lovely day today and a sweet visit with some work mates...babies babies babies...
Thanks for the flowers Miss P and lil miss baby K! OH! I made that lovely table runner you see in this pic...Thanks to RG for all the 'guidance'
Loves to all!
Thanks to Mother Nature I have been really stalled on my furniture progress over at Casa Cupcake. I have started to look at the long blank wall as you enter the front door and think "What on earth am I going to put up there?" A mirror? A vignette of pictures in beautiful frames? A series of 3 larger prints? It really is a long wall and needs some visual interest. Here are a few pictures in attempt to demonstrate said wall and its nakedness...
What to put above the chairs and little table???? The chairs will be recovered in a new (yet to be determined) fabric. I am so indecisive re: color!??? Ideas? I would adore a blue color but I am leaning towards a neutral...I maty keep the wood tone in the legs and arms...what say you?
Here is the beautiful hardware I purchased from LeeValley for my coffee table. Just need to distress te table a bit...and it is finally complete!
I love this coffee table-it turned out great! I need to stage this room as it is driving me insane!! I feel like we are getting nowhere with this little home of ours. Creatively stuck.
Hopeautiful I will be posting a beautiful table scape soon featuring my DIY table runner. RG and I were up until 0130 last night completing it. I needed an intervention and got schooled. Thank goodness for that. Oh...and thank goodness for Frosty's. at 2300.
Have a wonder-filled day!
My nieces (blessed with three!) and my one and only nephew. My oldest niece was born when I was in grade 12. I remember sitting in my Geography class anxiously awaiting her arrival...I knew my sister was in labor, so my Mom agreed to call me when it happened. She called the school and asked to be put through to Mr H's class as he knew what was going on. When the phone rang...he answered and told me to get the heck outta the classroom and get to the hospital! Sunny was born :) My first angel. I have some very fond memories of her as a baby. One in particular was when I came back from the UK after being there for a month. She was 3 months old when I came back and I can totally picture her beautiful dark eyes peering at me, blinking from under the snuggle wrap. I was so smitten with her, still am to this very day...I remember when Sierra was born. I was there for that one. She was so adorable, always smiling and Sunny was in love with her little sister. I loved babysitting her-she was so fun to take care of!!! A couple years later, our little Ginger-baby was born. And she would have my middle name as hers :) She is such a bright light...loads of laughs. Me and Mr Cupcake (uncle cupcake) love to have the 2 youngest angels for sleepovers. Thank God they still think we are super cool. I had (ok, have) a very difficult time with Sunny 'not needing me' and hearing 'auntie has to realize I am not her little girl anymore' (I died a little that day). Hopefully she will think I am super cool again one day and want to hang out LOTS with me. Her auntie. Who is cool. At long last a little boy would brighten our world. Jacob is our latest blessing...a boy! He loves Buzz Lightyear and I think that is super cool. He is the spitting image of my sister as a baby...so much alike. And lemme tell you, she was THE CUTEST baby. EVER. He is our busy lil man...such a cutie. Affectionate and well, doesnt stand a chance with pretty much all girls around him all the time. Love my liitle tyke. He can run fastest. My 'power quad' is my world. A bad day is banished by hearing their precious voices. They are my cure all.Read more...

Web Marketing: How to Set Up a WordPress Website
WordPress can be an excellent host for a marketing website for your company. The following steps offer an overview of the steps for installing a WordPress website and then getting it up and running:
Register a domain name with keywords related to your industry, or use your company name.
Your core domain name should reflect your business name, but your ancillary website can focus on industry-related keywords.
Buy a commercial website hosting account.
Be sure to subscribe to a Linux server website hosting account because WordPress will not function to its full potential on a Windows server.
Install the WordPress software.
Contact your preferred website hosting company and have its support department install and configure WordPress to work with your domain name. Or, you can download the WordPress blog software script from WordPress.org and connect it yourself to a MySQL database.
Log in through admin and adjust the settings and preferences as you desire.
Install plug-ins, which you can search for by clicking the Add New link on the Plug-ins page.
Here's a list of some important plug-ins that maximize your search engine optimization capability and ability to promote your website:
WP Super Cache: Reduces server load
All-in-One SEO Pack: Optimizes every post for search engines
Google XML Sitemaps: Notifies Google that you've made changes (such as a new post if you're blogging)
Google Analyticator: Links your site to your Google Analytics account so that you can monitor your website traffic whenever you log in to the WordPress administration area
WP-Email: Adds a link with a form that allows readers to tell others about your website
WordPress Backups: Keeps a current backup of your database files in case your website ever crashes
WPtouch: Displays your website on mobile devices
Add a FeedBurner account, which helps automate the promotion of every post.
Apply your website design:
For a predesigned theme: Click Themes, located under the Appearance menu on the left column of the dashboard area. Click Activate for the theme you want to install.
For a custom-designed theme: You have to slice the main design into smaller images and then add code to pull those images into the layout using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Create two or more secondary style sheets to handle programming bugs in some of the older website browsers, including Internet Explorer versions 8, 7, and 6.x and Firefox.
Include extra WordPress features on your website.
Search box: Always offer a search box on your website so that visitors can find what they're looking for.
Widgets: The most common examples of widgets are newsletter opt-in boxes, calendars, lists of topic categories, most recent blog post titles, or just plain text.
Plugins: More than a million plugins are developed by people all over the world who want to help enhance the power and functionality of WordPress. Activate your desired plugins prior to official launch so that you have full functionality.
Footer: Include a copyright notice, company name, phone number, address, and links to main sections of the website.
Add pages of content.
Include a blog section of the website.
Even if you don't plan to add blog posts daily, you should still activate a blog section of your website and plan to create a few posts per month. A good majority of your website visitors will be expecting you to have a blog section. Don't let them down!
Plus, routine blog posts display to Google that your website contains fresh content and is worth sending its search engine spiders to see what's new on your website.
Point your domain name to the new website hosting location.
For a first-time website, this step is usually accomplished when WordPress is first installed. If you have not yet changed your DNS settings to direct your domain name to your new website, this point of the process would be the time. Your new website is officially live after DNS propagates.
