First, a little ‘Bright Lights’ cosmos bloom from my Haworthia (sp?) pot. These are the ones that planted themselves in the fall of 2013. Still growing in there! I got the light fixture earlier this week, but didn’t want to deal with it until the weekend. I like this much better than the huge old […]

Gradge window isn’t very clean, but the sunset was still pretty!

AKA, doing shit I don’t want to do because I have to go back to work tomorrow. I did, however, finish painting my tissue box cover. It still needs its ribbon, but even as is, it’s better than a 50s-inspired light turquoise polka-dot tissue box! I was going to order rubber feet so I’m sure […]

I got two of the vintage books that I wanted, and…a Workmate! The instructions were something else–it would’ve been easier if they’d put the pictures with the text, and made them large enough to not require the assistance of a scanning electron microscope–but we managed. I’m currently thinking of a little project I can do […]

It didn’t just slide in like the other one, but I removed two of the bolts and it went in without any problem. Makes a cute shelf, I think! One very rough box, constructed of plywood left over from the house I built for OK (which is actually used by Onje). The sloppiest caulking job […]

I didn’t accomplish too much today, but I did get a coat of polyurethane on the tabletop and shelves (going to apply another in a bit…hopefully the last). I also fed/watered my plants and gave them a long-overdue grooming. I finally threw out the dead Hypoestes, but the volunteer baby in with the Peperomia is […]

I’m ready for bed, but I stayed up late enough after all. Yay for 2015; may it be filled with projects! For the record…

I didn’t want to go out in the cold, but I gotta do what I gotta do, so I did. I squared up my glued boards, and was reluctant to try skimming off so little with the skilsaw, so I was going to use the belt sander, but in the end, I just marked the […]

I didn’t write anything because first I went shappin and got…boring stuff (allergy pills, laundry stuff), nail punches, drill bits, green paint for the router repeater and a plant cache pot, Gorilla Glue for wood, and a photo mat at Walmart. At CHC, I got 8′ of not bad pine, 12 x 1 for the […]

Aside from waiting until the urethane has cured sufficiently for me to flip the table over and screw (possibly also glue) the top to the base, my chair/table/curtains project is complete! Nearly a year I spent on it, but once spring came last year, it was full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes for the […]
