Well, the cat is out of the bag. I finally unveiled what I have been making diligently for Christmas gifts to my wife. And she genuinely loved them, and after all this time I can tell if she does or does not like something. Plus, she gave me another clue, for the first time she [...]

Now that I have new accommodations for my driftwood collection I can hit the beach and gather like a fiend. Oh, this feeling is so invigorating. No more hemming and hawing over whether or not to pick up items I find on the sandy banks, or shoreline. I have the space to store it, and [...]
The Time Has Come to Expand the Workspace and Storage
Posted by admin on June 28th, 2011
I think that it would have been nice to have picked up a hobby that takes up less space. Instead, I collect the driftwood, store it for an unidentifiable time till I craft it into art or furniture, and then quite often I need to house the finished product till I find a buyer for [...]
