A Timeout Stool

The secret to great children is

"Always Eat Dessert First"!

If you don't

then you will probably need a time-out stool!

Cutting A Circle On A Table Saw

It was a day of planting trees and fighting off swarming bees. 

grow my little babies!

 After picking up never ending storm remains and fighting off more bees......

 I backed into this pile only to get a sliver in my butt!

  I also cut two circles on a table saw.....I really did.

(and fought off more bees)

and didn't cut my fingers off...

You can see how to do it on this YouTube video. 

 I don't think Mr. Circle guy invented the wheel but he

 showed me how to make one, so cheers to him.

I found this cool thing on Pinterest that involves circles, which I would show you,

 but then I would have to kill you and hide your body in my

 basement somewhere, and that might smell. 

 After all, I just finished cleaning it out. 

But do stay tuned to see what becomes of my tablesaw circles.

No harm will come to you!!!

I PROMISE.

Now to find a mirror with ample magnification

for butt sliver removal.

The Beating Hearth Goes Public

My dear bloggy friend Heather, from

  The Beating Hearth, 

created this treasured one of a kind pillow for me!

I guess she must like me or perhaps she's waiting for me to win the lottery so I can share my winnings.  I am pretty sure it's the latter as my odds are pretty good.  I buy a ticket usually once a year and I am banking my retirement on it.

And now you can have one of her gorgeous works of art too!

She has finally started her own business, and will create

 custom quilts which will surely become treasures.

Here are a few examples of her creative talents at work.

You can jump on the bus and

 visit her at 

THE BEATING HEARTH

Reclaiming My Basement - Part Two

After consuming half a Costco chicken due to nail breakage (fingernails not finishing nails), I was ready to tackle room two.  

  Moving shelving units around and sorting through Mr. FT's beer brewing hobby, left me feeling good about who the hoarder in the family really is! 

KIDS eh!

Yikes.  I went to the local building store to pick up a transition strip...
$32.99 for what I don't even think was an eight foot piece. FOR ONE PIECE?????
Who likes matchy matchy anyways.

This gorgeous wall covering has to go....Is't like epoxy coating meets flaky pastry.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and pondered

 while I start on the second half of that chicken.

Cheers.

OH NO

Look what happened last week

How can I be sad about a tree when I am looking at this guy!
