I just did a nice thing
My Mom needed several little parts and spares for her sewing machine.... I just ordered them all online for her
I figure thats gotta win me brownie points
- they made the moms join in
- no wonder so few parents turned up - they all knew from last time
- I didnt win but I did beat a few 7 year olds
Just back from the obstacle race
So here is what I have been working on for the last 3 weeks, in all my spare time. It is our new kitchen table. I have never done a wood project before. So this was a new experience for me. It is just under 4 feet wide and is a little of 6 feet long. The legs are redwood, and the top is solid oak. It would have only taken me two weeks but I used the wrong varnish and had to stripe it off and start over. Then the weather played into the stain drying again. But now it is in the house and ready to use.
I attempted chairs. Will never do that again. The three that I made looked horrible. So for now we are using the chairs we have had and I will buy chairs from an unstained wood place as I have the money to buy them.
What do you collect?
I used to collect WDCC...... got tons of the stuff but had to stop cos we ran out of foom and Ellis was born so it all had to go into glass cabinets away from little fingers.
I also collect xmas ornaments(as some of you already know from my house photos!)
I also collect disney number plates - got about 30 but nowhere to put them. We're going to display them in Ellis' playroom/garage (when we get round to it.
Karen - nice to your mom twice in one week?!?Good girl!
:
- it'll be torture
Off for my lunch - low fat cuppa soup and a dish of strawberries
The worst part is... as soon as Ellis finishes karate tonight I have to whizz him home, get him changed then he's got to go to a birthday party at ..........Pizza Hut
Imagine going to Pizza Hut and not eating
I have to stay and watch 30 kids stuff themselves on delicious pizza
Torture I tell you, torture!
Ok, so the links didn't work out like I thought they would - I found Star Wars Mickey pins on ebay! I got a Mickey as Luke Skywalker (DS's fave character) for Thomas, and a Jedi Mickey for Pete!
Woody and I have a few from the Star Wars weekends a few years ago.
OPh dear- I hope you can get it sorted

I made a table once ...
with Excel.
Seriously, that's a great accomplishment - do you have any pictures or have I missed them already by not reading back through volumes of posts?
Her ya go B
