This morning I glued on the final piece of trim to complete the entire list of goals for March. That means the three center rooms of the BH build are basically done. As I continue with constru...
The list has been getting lots of attention since the weekend. Gluing in trim however, does not make for interesting posts until its completed. So, I thought Id show you what I did during drying time...
Ive had this idea for the master bedroom bedding in my head for months. Last night I dusted off the Singer and got to work. I still need to make the pillows, sheets, etc but ran out of black thread. ...
