Do you remember the Snoop Sisters, Mom?  I bet you'd remember THIS episode! I've been searching for a good quality clip of this...

One Project Done

The boards I worked up for doors to a bookcase in my room that I did about 2 years ago are finally being utilized as doors.  I took a thin piece of plywood, cut it in half. Stenciled a pattern, drilled holes in the pattern and wood-burned lines on the pattern.

I attached trim, hinges and knobs.  Didn't turn out too bad.

 In progress.  You can see the wood burned lines and the drilled holes that lend an almost Moroccan feel to the doors.

 In progress - one door up. You can see how the shelves look without the doors somewhat

Finished. Yay! A finished project

It begins.....


This is the Crete myrtle that Lynn bought in memory of Mom.  It survived the sub-zero weather!  We wrapped plastic around the base, put a tomato cage over the bush and covered that with an old blanket.  As you can see, I've got a lot of clearing to do in the garden area.  The up and down temps have set everything on a growing frenzy.



I took an old pallet, spray painted it and hung flowers on it using cable ties.  Interesting look I think

I also did some weed whacking, cutting old limbs to a manageable size and clearing some brush. And a trip to the store and thrift store.
