The bandsaw is complete and operating which is a sure sign of a successful 'put it together project' but I will tell you, if the store had offered a service to put it together for me, I would pay $100 for them to do it! lol But Bill and I worked for 6 hours and were still able to smile after all of the struggles! Let me tell you, the new instructions offered with most items do NOT tell you HOW to put it together but rather show you a picture then you can figure it out for yourself! It was too late to really use it last night but I will be trying it out this morning!
Before we started the work on the bandsaw, I did a few other projects-the third mushroom is off the lathe and I will be applying shellac or lacquer on them today. They make a cute little family!
I made a few more blocks for the map quilt--if you look closely on the blue block on the right, I put sewed it wrong-the blue and white pieces are not in the same layout as the others. Instead of ripping it out, I will make the other blocks for the bottom row the same as this one and it will be a quirk that only I will really see!
The latest painting is a festive gnome gathering!
