  • Drill: My little 14v Makita cordless drill is my alltime favourite. It's a smaller scale drill that REALLY packs a big punch. It fits a woman's hand like a glove, losing the bulk. I recommend the 2 pack kits with the chuck / chuckless. 3
  • Bits: this is the purse of my dreams! This all in one Makita tool bit case allows you to tote whatever you need anywhere you go. I'd be lost without it. 2
  • Palm sander: I have both a clamp on style and orbital. I admit to loving the clamp on motion better, but love the ease of the velcro attachments on the orbital. Which is your preference? 1

    handy for making bird houses. It cuts curves too which was one of the reasons we/I wanted one for. I used it to cute the apron and valance on the corner shelf unit I made out of an old door. I'm on the laptop so I don't have a photo to share of it right now, but will later.

    Here's a video I found to show you just what they can do.

Easy Decorative Baseboards

I love the look of bulky decorative baseboard trim. Adding a small piece of trim a few inches above baseboards is an easy inexpensive way to add some architectural detail.

    They are adorable. ...»

    After reading your blog and seeing that you have an entire board dedicated to patriotic decor I figured you'd want to know that the union should always be in the upper left unless on a soldiers uniform where they wear it on their upper right sleeve. It's considered a place of honor. The union is then allowed to be on the upper right because it's "facing forward" or as it would be flying in the wind. I found this out when I was shocked to see the flag placement on my son's uniform before he was deployed to the Middle East. He filled me in on the reasoning.

70's Set to Outdoor Beauty!

I purchased a 70's velour couch, table and chair set, and re-painted, and upholstered everything to make a very heavy, sturdy, comfortable sitting area for my back deck.

Enjoy
