Riding my workmate.

The cupboard in Hannah's sewing room had a missing shelf. This may have broken/been thrown out in the early days of the House of Love. Crazy times. Shit happened. Can't remember. We threw a lot of stuff out.

I inherited a Black & Decker Workmate from my dad's friend Neville - He had two! - so I decided to get my saw on and cut her a new shelf of an afternoon.

 Correct technique.

Plank.

Re-tooling in the studio.

I'm holding a drill like a gun!

 Pee-yow!

Brute force.

So, eagle-eyed readers/viewers will have spotted the bent drill bit. This has happened before. I think we've got a bent drill. They sometimes break off completely. It's obviously nothing to do with my technique. You will also have noticed NO keyboard on the very top shelf-rack arm things.

So, add these to your Xmas present ideas for Jon and Hannah;

a.) Drill

2.) Keyboard

Snowflakes

Now the advent calendar has started we can begin decorating our house! We started with these lovely snowflakes we got at the Chapel End Arts and Crafts Christmas fair.

Sorry about the flurry of non-diy posts. We will get back to proper posts shortly, this is not a lifestyle blog!

Advent greetings

This is going to be our second Christmas in the House of Love. And on the first day of advent, after 20 minutes of frenzied searching, we cracked open our trusted Playmobil advent calendar.
