Works in Progess

I'm back! My son told me to take the side off my computer to re-attach the USB port. Easier said than done! Tiniest little screws I've ever seen! Turns out I needed to take the front off too. Inconceivable!

I did get it loose enough to squeeze my little hand down in there and plug the port back in. Of course it won't STAY plugged in. So now it's taped in place with blue painter's tape!

Couldn't find my duct tape or I would have used that! Duct tape can fix most anything!

Anyway, here's a couple of photos of what I've been doing.

I'm working on the dresser drawers. Not so easy but I'm getting there...

I made a little beach pail using the tutorial from the pitchers everyone has been making. I still need to make a handle and trim the bottom.

I finally found some alphabet pasta! I'm so excited about that! I have enough for the entire mini community! I'm making a "beach" sign now. Love those little letters! So many possiblilities! Thanks Mercedes for the idea!

I'm using the box here to hold the bookshelf together while the glue was drying. I really need to get some Legos!

Well I must get back to my painting etc. Hope you are having a good evening!

Mini Projects in the Master

I made this little book shelf today thinking I would use it in the kids room upstairs. Now that I'm looking at it again, I'm wondering if I could make drawers for it and use it here in the master bedroom?

I've never made a dresser with drawers that open. Hopefully, someone knows how to do it and can share their secrets with me?

I painted the bedroom Benjamin Moore's "White Satin." It's a really pretty blue, not white!

I also picked out the fabric for the bed. I think I'm going to make a comforter instead of a quilt. Maybe a white one that looks like down with the blue floral as sheets?

My sewing machine isn't working right. I'm still working on the quilts for the kid's beds! Having to stitch them all by hand is taking a very long time!!

I made one of Rosanna's little beach bags too. Her tutorial was great! I used a little hand held pencil sharpener to wrap the fabric and braid around. Perfect size and shape! Lots of glue was used in this project!

So, what do you think? Should I try to add drawers to the bookshelf or just paint it and let it be?
