#100 Re-Booting

Getting worked up for SUMMER!!!  Lots of projects & plans in the works.  I'm studying to become a real architect and determined to build more furniture for my apartment with a few crafty projects and painting on the side.  With the weekend almost here, it's time to get all my to-do lists together and supplies organized to get started!

And everyone knows you need "Project Shoes" when you start a new project!  ...these beauties would be very inspiring :)

#86 Wax On, Wax Off

It started like this:

Then I measured, I cut (well, I got my friend to do most of the cutting because I was scared of cutting my finger off), I sanded, I clamped, I drilled, I screwed, I unscrewed(oops!), I screwed again, I sanded some more, I waxed, I buffed, & I waxed and buffed again, and this is what I got in the end:

A table and matching bench that didn't break the bank... but almost broke my back.

#80 Places Set

One long table coming up!  This weekend I'm planning on building a dining table.  I found a sweet website, where the writer, Ana White, builds furniture and shares plans that you can build yourself, from the easiest to more advanced.  It gave me the courage to make something useful and not have to spend a million dollars on it.  With a few table building helpers and a tool donor, hopefully it will be a success! Then, whenever you come to visit me, I will have a cute little table set up like so to welcome you...
