About Me:

My love for country comes from being raised on a farm. My hobby is primitive painting which has always ended up as gifts. This winter will be the first time to do a craft show. I love the ideas and hints that everyone is so willing to share. You learn so much from this great site.

Favorite area of home improvement:

My favorite areas are decorating with accessories and working in my flowerbeds.

  • 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

  • Wingscapes Birdcam 2.0. See my blog for pros and cons. The photo quality is fine (not great) but it's still a lot of fun.
  • I love it that I can get shots I would otherwise never see.
  • This sweet guy is not healthy and he's almost blind. I have no idea why there's a feather on his head but he's so dear. He's the only bird that stays at the feeder when I approach.
