Bench Leg Tutorial

Filed Under: Tutorials

Yesterday I recorded my first video tutorial.  I've been working on a bench for client and I thought I would show you how to add the legs with a Kreg tool.  Please ignore the messy garage!  I thought about cleaning it for the video, but decided to keep it real! Here's the final product.  The family that will be using this bench has two small kids, so I decided to add a support to make it a little bit sturdier. We  re-used her old table top and bought the pre-made legs from the hardware ... Read More about Bench Leg Tutorial

worry

Filed Under: Encouragement

I am not a huge worrier.  At least not about big stuff!!  I tend to worry about "what ifs."  I have learned to let go of a lot the older I get but there was a time when I held on to EVERYTHING. Does anyone else hold their breath when they are worried about something?  I usually don't realize it  until I am catching my breath, trying to make up all the oxygen that I am missing.  (Just a weird fact about me.) These days, this is what I worry about most. Am I raising them in the right ... Read More about worry

I have a little obsession with frames.  I ... Read More about Lord's Prayer

what IS it about?

Filed Under: No Category

As most of you know, this last weekend I attended my first ever blogging conference.  It was truly a wonderful experience, but a mix of emotions for me.  I don't consider myself a true blogger in the sense that I am a "successful" blogger (according to my own standards).  Upon the conclusion of the weekend, I came home with a new found passion for my blog and my life. Let me explain... I originally started my blog as a push from some friends.  I've always had a passion for home design and ... Read More about what IS it about?
