I know our friends won’t be able to solve all these problems either, but I’m enormously grateful that I’m not alone in this new stage of our lives, and neither is Alice.

From boring kitchen lamp to faux stained glass geek light

Homie, Sarakenobi turned her kitchen pendant light from boring to BAZINGA! when she used a faux stained glass technique in the nerdiest possible way. And it’s pretty damn Marvelous… Doctor Who-ious… and Harry Potter-ious…

SPOILERS: there’s an awesome Doctor Who-themed family session headed your way

I realize that if you’re not a fan of Doctor Who then this post doesn’t mean much to you, which is why I made the subject line as blatantly obvious as I could — feel free to skip on over it. But FYI Whovians in the house: we have a treat for you today!
