I finally bit the bullet

A few months ago I bought a drill. This was a huge step for me, given my fear of power tools. Although it was a huge step, it was only one step. Once I got the thing home, I put it upstairs and forgot about it. Any project requiring the use of my drill got put off.

Yesterday all of that changed! I have this thread rack that came with no holes in the back. I wanted to hang it on the wall with my other one. (This is something I've been wanting to do for about 6 years.) I finally got up the courage and drilled holes in the back of that sucker! Woo hoo! Please see pictorial storyline.

The Time Has Come

Yes, the time has come to remove the yucky carpet in my front room. I'm going to use this room as my studio, so it will be great to sew on hardwood. It's way easier to clean up. I knew the floor was ok underneath the carpet so I wasn't expecting any surprises. Let's just say, if anything, I was pleasantly surprised with how great it looks!
