A Very Crafty New Year


Undisclosed Rancho Cordova Location

Nairbie is currently in Germany visiting with the whole family. Sluggy & I have been sharing house and cat sitting duty. There is where the plan started.

We decided to host the New Year's Eve party at Nairb's house and leave him presents. Well, really, we made him presents. We were down a Shim & Caddie and Shooter, but we were ten strong and well stocked with cocktails, plans and crafty supplies.

Dinner was lasagna, ranch salad, garlic bread, lots of cookies, rum cake and (my personal favorite), crockpot full of Costco nacho cheese. Eternally hot.

A couple other missing drunks dropped off supplies for us, which was awesome! I precut some paper strips for paper chains. There was lots of macaroni, elmers glue, crepe paper, felt, ribbon, googlie eyes and pom poms. We were unstoppable!

Here is a list of what we accomplished:
Macaroni wall art for the bathroom. One male, one female.
Gigantic paper chain that winds through the whole house
Specially hidden zip-tied items
Tutus and googlie eyes on pigs and duct tape
Penis-enhanced lamp shade (only visible when turned on).
"Oh Nairby" wall hanging
Diapered potted plant
Chandelier enhanced with felt clothes and rainbow ribbon fringe
And the Finale!!! Glittery decoupage porn table

Oh, yes, you read correctly. We took his 80's glass table that has been handed down through many colleges houses and decoupaged the hell out of it. Every inch is covered in porn with iridescent glitter to liven it up. It is a sight to behold! (Full disclosure, Nairb did give consent to alter the table).

Midnight came and went without much fanfare...except that Baby New Year go on his bike to ring in the fresh start. Video to come, I am sure.

Then we woke up in the morning and had nachos. What a way to start the new year.
