It’s showtime! Because of the cross country move we’re about to embark on we dressed my daughter Wednesday up in her costume a week early. She is a huge Tim Burton fan and her favourite movie this year is Beetlejuice.

I know the post isn’t necessarily storage related but I did DIY the costume! I had to make the pants because finding kids pants in white is nearly impossible! (And for good reason.) I used tea to stain the suit a bit and then I made the stripes and tie out of black duct tape. (Duck Brand) We did have some perfectly nasty teeth but lost them literally hours before showtime.

Still, she looks pretty stellar. Plus, how many little girls do you know dress up as Beetlejuice? That makes her the coolest kid this Halloween.

How AWESOME (Sorry, I could not resist!) is this idea to use Lego figures to hold smaller cables? I think very awesome. Apparently, all you need is some Sugru Hardware compound (which sounds like some super neat-o stuff) and some Lego people to make your desk space a little more Awesome!

The tutorial is in Portugese (I believe) but the photos are pretty self explanatory.
