Sister doing it for herself

Last night I modified my Chinese restaurant lantern that used to attatch to a ceiling-mount-fixture to a hanging lamp set up. I found a wheel-switch power cord at the hardware store and with electrical tape, extention cord, and about 15 minutes, I finally got myself some illumination for the living room. It looks pretty good in there. There was a moment of excitement when I was incorrect in my assumption that I had the two wires far enough apart before turning on the fixture, but no permanent damage done.

I'd love to get the pot rack up, along with the hall mirrors and my few pieces of art, but I'll need assistance, a drill, and a stud finder for those. Possibly o-ring screws for the pot rack. I'm not sure where the original ones are.

Tomorrow I'm hosting a get-together for the bellydancers who want to learn some embellishment techniques for Renfest costumes. I'd like to have the apartment a little more organized for that. We'll see if that actually happens. It didn't.
