What a weekend it's been--two exciting new toys for craft adventure. :)
Matt tried the chainsaw jig we ordered to make it possible to mill the trees we've had to cut down on the property. The potential uses of this gorgeous oak could fill my imagination for hours... The first goal, though, is turning it into useful things. Like balusters for the balcony railing.
And (I have no idea why it took me this long) I finally tried my hand at free-motion quilting. With my new $5 darning foot, I've now reaching something like quilting perfection in finding a quilting technique that's fast, fun and doesn't require precision. Oh, the joy! Here's me in my pajamas, playing away this morning.
