Projects...never ending projects...

I finally got the 1st coat of primer on the little bookcase. I gotta say, steel wool sure does make a nice surface! One more coat to dry and then paint and finished! YAY! One project almost done.

 I  started another quilt. This one is for Darling Daughter. She whines that I never made HER a quilt for HER very own. SO I'm trying out a T shirt quilt!
I have all of the fronts fused with interfacing. I used the knit
fusible interfacing.
Ironing T shirts is not fun. She's been accumulating these shirts for years....I guess it's high time I got going.
Yes, since 06...well I got stuff to do!!!
This is the pattern I'm using. It was suggested by my friend at my local quilt shop, Common Threads Quilt Shoppe in North Liberty Iowa.
I'll keep you posted on the progress!

Next Project

So now I need a shelf to put all of uber Son's stuff on. I love the look of the trendy ladder shelves that are all over Pinterest. Like this....
 I can do that!
 
I popped in to Lowes and loaded up with the wood I thought would work with the plan in my head....not a good sign, plan in my head...oh Lord!
Anyways the nice fella at Lowes cut the boards to the length I wanted so at least I don't have to do that!


These tags with staples in them are really annoying and hard to get out.
 Have I mentioned how much I love my power tools? I do love them. Too bad I can't saw a straight line very well no matter what!
I set up shop in the garage and figured out the correct width for my nicely pre cut shelves.



Looking good! We won't mention how I wish I had gotten screws just 1/8th inch shorter.
Finish assembly tomorrow!!
