Boy, have I been neglecting this blog or what. You’d think I was on vacation or something.
Well, I’m definitely not on vacation, but I have taken some time off work. Winter is fast approaching so we are scrambling to batten down the hatches. I am *still* working on the enormous bookcase project — 4 huge bookcases set atop cabinetry! — and I have a flurry of other large carpentry and garden projects to complete yet. So I’m sorry for my lack if attention here…
One highlight of the project — corner clamps. I love these! I spotted them at the home improvement store and figured I’d try them on my project. Best decision I made! They hold the ends of the plywood perfectly together, very nice tool!

I go back to work Monday so I have a whole lot to do until then… I’ll try to give an update before then. Thanks for your understanding!



Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

Wishing you continued luck on all your projects. I remember my parents getting things ready for winter. We luckily don’t have to worry about that here. It’s still so hot… I wish it would cool off a little already! 🙂
