push broom?

November 11th, 2008

Seemed like it’d be a good time to put up another update about this and, I must admit, it holds a fair bit more than I thought it would. Having not found any 48 inch tall books, I decided to put the tall piece on it’s side. Kind of makes sense, doesn’t it?

return of retro

September 26th, 2008

Not only did I finish this project, but I even planted something. That deserves a short of rum or something. Possibly cookies (which I did bake today — and even managed to bake them, but did have a bit too much raw cookie dough).
Apparently the plant (offspring of a plant I bought at the Farmers’ [...]

retro thursday

September 18th, 2008

This is one of the pieces of the bookcase [...]

wood!

June 14th, 2008

So with the Farmers’ Market well and truly underway, with another successful Saturday done (only 19 more dates left to the season!), I felt it was time to get another project on the go. There’s a few other on the back burners, still fermenting away in my brain like a good ale should. If only [...]

Saturday morning cartoons

May 24th, 2008

There’s been a debate over the years on how much those Saturday morning cartoons affected us as kids. Now, some would claim that all that violence wasn’t good for us, or that Transformers was just design to sell toys. More still would claim that the Smurfs were clearly only one apple tall, not the three [...]
