The journey continues. I just don’t have any pictures to show you! Well, I did find a few on my phone, and they should be arriving in my email, soon!

My biggest success story took place in the garage. Eric did an amazing job of organizing it. I can find things fairly quickly – especially the tape measure.

Last week, I completed a squatty-potty for my daughter’s birthday. The instructions come from Ana White and they worked quite well. I managed to do the cutting by myself, which is in itself exciting! I clamped and screwed, sanded and stained, and placed it in its space without her knowing! It was fun! Check tomorrow’s post for a picture. I will have one! You can find the instructions at her website…https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/wooden-squatty-potty

I also need to make a boot rack for our small entry way. And Ana has one: https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/wall-boot-rack-plans. Of course, you can’t just check out one plan, so I found another one by Bob Villa. He adds a shelf on top, and I find that rather handy. I bought my lumber yesterday and today……

Today, I walked into the garage by myself. I measured my pieces. And, without any assisstance (except a you-tube video on how to turn on the saw) I managed to make the cuts. I am so proud of this.

It may seem like a little thing – but for me it is like taking my first steps. I have always been afraid of tools (and their noise). This fear has kept me from doing so much. Now, I feel like I’ve shot myself to the moon!

I’m still playing with pin looms. I am working through a book of patterns. Making my own looms hasn’t been so successful – yet.

I do want to post a blog every day for the next 100 days, so I’m going to stop now and post more tomorrow!

Enjoy your journey!
