Even if no one notices those little touches -- I know they are there.<br />At a previous townhouse the master bedroom had a ceiling fan with two pulls - one for the light and one for the fan. I WISHED I could have found a pull that glowed in the dark. Just a little bit. Just enough so you could find the darn thing when you really needed to.

Then start with the smallest drill bit you own and progress to thicker ones slowly until you reach the desired hole size.Lisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-64943117330673510542015-07-17T23:13:37.958-04:002015-07-17T23:13:37.958-04:00I need to find something to do this withI need to find something to do this withGingerUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818643761909533977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-73599321265470672102015-07-17T23:01:15.509-04:002015-07-17T23:01:15.509-04:00I think my parents still have my old thimble colle...I think my parents still have my old thimble collection in storage...I think most of them are porcelain or ceramic though...would it even be possible to drill holes in those, or would they break I wonder?Michelle Arenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360952157505421569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-89484451820785340662015-07-17T19:24:07.887-04:002015-07-17T19:24:07.887-04:00How can one person have so many amazing ideas?!

I need new blinds with thimble pulls on ALL my windows pronto! <br /><br />Ebay sellers are sure going to wonder why their decorative thimbles are selling so quickly. I bet this is going to become at least as popular as your flip flop hangers! When I see thimble pulls in a thieving magazine soon, I'll be screaming, "Jen did it first!!" <br /><br />You're awesome and inspirational, as always!<br /><br />KWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-1006490019678510632015-07-17T19:18:10.910-04:002015-07-17T19:18:10.910-04:00I remember being ~*weirdly fascinated*~ by Aunt...I remember being ~*weirdly fascinated*~ by Aunt's thimble collection growing up and fricking love this idea.<br /><br />Lewis xLewis Bhttps://www.facebook.com/lewis.bartlett.94noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-16129639790411191422015-07-17T18:30:43.724-04:002015-07-17T18:30:43.724-04:00I have some small broken bells that I could do thi...I have some small broken bells that I could do this with!
