I got really inspired this weekend and did a lot of projects that have been on the to-do list for ages. I have this little drop-leaf table, about 2 to 2 1/2 feet square, and the legs that hold up the leaves needed reinforcing with corner braces and L brackets, etc. One of them had been previously reinforced, but needed a little more, the other was so wobbly I was almost afraid to use it. Now both legs are strong. And I did it all by hand. I bought a little hand drill and some bits, in case screwing the screws strait in with a screw driver was too hard, but it wasn't and I don't thing even a power drill would have made things go much faster. I just might not have gotten blisters on my hands. But they were only little ones and healed fast, and it felt so satisfying!
I also got some little mending projects done, along with shopping and housecleaning and did I mention a special night in with my bf?
Good Times!
