Are you tired of going into your bedroom and seeing that boring bed? Who can get a good night of sleep in that bed, right? We like to have color and spice in our lives and since we spend so much time in the bedroom, we often get bored with the routine and the sameness of it all. I am speaking from personal experience here.

I love change. I am sick of looking at the same things all the time. I have a very beautiful headboard, but lately I have become very dissatisfied with it. Yeah, go figure. Instead of staying bored with my expensive headboard, I think I'll make a slipcover for it.

In keeping with DIY Life's "do something with that old computer junk" theme, I want to introduce you to the most chic new fashion statement that is up and coming. CPU earrings are all the rage in Europe and the trend is now coming stateside. Never mind that they're big, gaudy, heavy and difficult to control, these earrings say, "I'm a geek chick and I like it."

They look easy enough to make, all you need is a processor chip with a hole in it and an appropriate hook. You also need a good sense of humor and an ability to suspend true fashion sense but heck, being "green" enough to make jewelry from old computer parts trumps conventional fashion plates any day.

To put the whole matter in perspective, the CPU earrings actually don't look half bad, and when compared with some of the costume jewelry that was worn in the 70's, they might even qualify as understated. Personally, I find the CPU earring idea quite ingenious and I applaud the creator of this particular set.

Somehow though, I don't think that geek fellows would get a good response when they hand that little velour box to their geek girlfriends along with the words, "Intel inside". But I suppose I could be wrong about that.
