My latest DIM

Oh, you've never heard of DIM? It's kind of like DIY, except I did it myself, instead.
I'm pretty sure it'll catch!

All cell phone pictures, but I was very excited with how it turned out.
I painted on Saturday & then assembled on Sunday.

What you need:
Webbing (mine was 1.5" from Joann's. I looked at Joann's and Hobby Lobby, but this was the thickest webbing I could find. I wanted something wider, if you know if any places w/ wider webbing, please let me know!) 
Masking Tape
Acrylic Paint
Craft Glue
Metal Hook (I got a set of swivel ones from Joann's)
Paint Brushes
Newspaper (or in my case, wax paper) to cover your work surface
Metallic Vinyl


Step 1. 2. & 3. tape a pattern onto the webbing. Let paint dry. Peel tape off.



Step 4. Admire

Step 5. Measure, cut, & glue metallic vinyl to the webbing & attach the hook.

Also, Weston likes to use my hand to practice IVs.
I got 3 pokes last night, but he got an IV going! That blue blur in the center is a fatty bruise.
I think he hematoma-ed me.

Also, Weston has not been feeling well lately. This is what he looked like all day yesterday.
Bundled up on the air mattress in the middle of the room looking mostly pathetic.
He's been really nauseous. We're pretty sure he's pregnant.
