storage chest

so i have been wanting a storage chest to put at the end of my bed for a really, really long time. I wanted one really simple like these that I found at www.mycountrytreasures.com But of course I can never find something like this in the stores. The ones I find in stores can range from $300-$500. and they are really bulky and short and square.
So with the help of www.knock-offwood.com I was inspired to make by own storage chest. I love it because it will be skinnier and longer, it will be great on the end of my bed.


I still need to attach the top, i can't decide yet what I want for the top...then the most time consuming part will be priming and painting...I'm going to paint it white.


The next post will be the finished product!!! I hope I like the results.

Your First Sewing Machine!

2020 has been a great year for sewing machine sales! Joanne's can't seem to keep them in stock. People making masks as well as others picking up new hobbies due to quarantine and with Christmas around the corner this might even be on your list! So are you looking to buy a sewing machine? If you are in the market for a new Sewing machine you might be a bit perplexed with all the different features. In fact sewing machines range from $100 up to..well there are some in the $12,000 range! So I'm going to keep it simple and share 3 key features to look for in your sewing machine investment. 1. Needle up/down feature : This means when you are sewing a project and you stop you can indicate that you want the needle down into the project so your fabric stays in place when you need to pivot or make adjustments to the fabric. 2. Automatic needle threader : this saves time (and frustration) by threading the needle for you. 3. Needle position right to left: This allows you to stitch
