Kitchen Cabinets
They are SO close to being done
This project is currently going 7 months strong. I’m hopeful that once kids get back in school it can start moving a bit more quickly.
Wedding Dress
Sweet Alteration for a Sweet Bride
Once I tried to make sewing how I was going to make my millions, and undervalued myself, overstressed my back and neck muscles and burnt out most of my creative energy with it. Now I do mainly alterations and occasionally some custom work and have about as much work as I want.
Right now I’m altering a wedding dress for a girl in my community. Its a sweet vintage 1980’s lace dress.
Kitchen Renovation
It started strong, but now is waiting for me to finish the cabinets.
I’m making Kitchen Cabinets and sometimes I put both the kitchen renovation and the kitchen cabinet build together as one project, but really it isn’t.
The kitchen hasn’t really changed much in the last 7 months. Well, take that back, certain parts and changed a lot, but since the original cabinets are still in I don’t thing it’s much, especially compared to everything I have planned.
And boy do I have plans.
What has changed?
The openings, which meant I needed to move electrical, which meant I needed to rerun some lines because they were too short.
What is left?
Take out the tile,
Take out the cabinets,
Finish the drywall/skimcoat all the walls,
Install a pocket door (make a pocket door)
Install finished cabinets,
Install sink
Get countertops templated, bought, and installed.
The goal is to have it mostly done by October. The flooring might wait a bit, we’ll see.
Market Goods
Things I’m working on for a market.
My cousin in Idaho invited several of her cousins/friends to collaborate on a market stall for a Renaissanse Faire. I haven’t make things for other people before, so I figured this would be a magical introduction into the world of making things for markets.
I had big plans, like I do, to make jewelry boxes and a whole slew of things. Then I injured myself in a woodworking accident and had to stay out of the sawdust for two weeks. Even with the setback, I am pretty happy about the things I have been able to make.
Hopefully I’ll keep making and offer things like this on here, soon.
