Lots going on at the house recently. First, Dave got some large prints made of several of his photos for the house. They are in the dining room, new room and living room. It is nice to have some new cheerful photos in the house!
Second, he's been busy in the man-cave working on some wood working projects. He is currently making some dovetail boxes. I won't share what for yet. You'll see when he's done. Suffice it to say they are important.
These are his first dovetails. He made a practice box and learned a lot. The two side fit very well.
Pretty cool stuff. He used maple and ash so there is some pretty contrast between the two woods which make the joints stand out.
The will 'pop' more when he finishes them. Hopefully the boxes will be done in the next week or so.
While we've been busy, the cat has been in the house pilfering beer. She is good for nothing. :)
Spent all day last weekend doing lots of sewing projects. It was nice to get these tasks done and it's always fun to get the machine out. We managed to get most every project done before my 35 year old Sears Kenmore 1776 croaked. She's a goner for sure this time. She's been a really good machine, but her time has come. *taps play*
The Kenmore isn't the only thing getting old - see how I am sitting here working on this stuff? I was darned near crippled when I got up. Seems I'd started hardening in this position. Ow. Soon there will be a blog with my new sewing machine (OMG have you seen new machines - yowza!!). And this new machine will be at a table with a proper chair. This will surely add 7 years to my life.
