The end of this last week into this weekend has been mighty
busy for Joe and I as we prepared for the Coastal Lighthouse Run, a race that
Joe organized and directed along with his work and Special Olympics
Connecticut. All proceeds went to Special Olympics and the turnout was
fantastic!! I am so proud of Joe – the race went very smoothly, with only a few
minor hiccups!
I made a fleece blanket to donate as a raffle item and I got
numerous compliments on it, with many people asking if I sell my items. I was
very flattered… and got to thinking. Would people really buy my projects? It
certainly would help support my love for crafting if I could sell my items, but
I only do this part time. Maybe I’ll look into Etsy and research my options.
Anywho, my latest “project” has been a beautiful jewelry
box/drawer chest (I’m honestly not sure what it really is) that I found at a
thrift shop for $10. It’s all solid maple and handmade, but it was pretty beat
up. So I sanded the whole thing down, restained, and refinished it. It might
not look too different in the pictures, but it has really taken on a new
life. There is a beautiful burl on the
top that really shines with the new finish. Take a look! J
Finished!
Thanks for stopping by!
