FUN FACT: Shower Curtain Bling was invented with a "splash." I'm the
kind of person who is constantly thinking of new ideas and designs.
Whenever I get a free moment, my mind takes me away to imagine all the
possible things left to create. As you may expect, any quiet moment I
get is filled in thought. One such moment -- I'm not embarrassed to say
now, since it gave birth to Shower Curtain Bling -- happened on the
"privy" (classy way of saying toilet).
I was trying to decide what I could do with a few beaded fringe strands I
had remaining from a lamp I had just finished designing. I brought the
strands with me on my visit to see "Lou" and just as I lifted his lid, a
twinkle struck my eye. I was suddenly taken aback by how much the
florescent light glistened off of the breaded fringe. I held the beads
up higher, until the background came into focus and I noticed how good
they looked set against my shower curtain.
When inspiration strikes, you just have to go with it, so I stood on
the side of my tub to see how I could attach them. But my clumsy nature
won out again, as I lost my balance and started careening towards the
floor. I grabbed onto my shower curtain for support, but it quickly gave
way as unforgiving gravity sent me and the shower curtain heading
straight down. I pushed my foot out to brace the fall, but the toilet
seat was already opened, so all five of my piggies went for a swim.
My husband walked in after hearing the commotion, only to discover me
standing there holding a curtain rod in one hand while my right leg
rested ankle-deep in the toilet-bowl.
"I'm not sure you're doing that right," is all he said to me.
One broken shower curtain rod and a damp foot later, and Shower Curtain Bling was born.
