Starlight Musings

     I've been shopping my home during our quarantine to see what isn't being used and/or what I can MacGyver into something.  I found a few wood pieces from previous projects to patch together to fix  an area I have.  While cutting a piece, I discovered it was hollow.      I had a small strip, cut an extra piece, and turned them into a pen/pencil/brush holder.  I sanded and used Gorilla Wood Glue to attach.  Painted what I could white and it was done.      Thanks for checking out my quick project.  Maybe you can find something quick to make yourself. - hope you're doing well and hope that maybe I sparked a bit of creativity or courage in you! (on with the yammer. . .)      So, if you're still reading instead of hopping somewhere else, you're either one of those people who want all the info or maybe you're one of us who has already cleaned more than you ever wanted to and/or just want to spend some time reading more. . .      I'm no expe

     The corner of my "Craft Corner" wasn't working well for me, so I wanted to fix it.  First, I cleared everything out.    I found some wood scraps from previous projects  (not ones in the pic) .  One piece was big enough to fit over the empty space and three wood lockers I have.  Had hubs bring out his miter saw and I cut the piece to make one long top for the whole area.   I had other scraps/unused pieces to make two shelves underneath the top.  The walls have wiring - electrical and other cable, so I skipped drilling into the wall and cut supports for the corners.      The back corner is 2 pieces glued together - didn't have enough for all solid pieces, so I added more scraps between the corner supports for added security.  Haven't attached anything yet - just using gravity and keeping my eye on it for now.  So far, it's working well enough I might leave it as is. - hope you're doing well and hope that maybe I sparked a bit of crea

     I've been "forced" to change computers and couldn't get into the blog I originally started, so I began this one.  I finally took the time to figure out how I can post to my old blog, but ran into other problematic things.  I'm in no way an expert or professional here!  Like with many projects, I'm trying to learn as I go and tackle anything that seems "wonky" as I notice them.      (As a bit of a side note, I'm going to include some of my thoughts as I think them. . . they are little tangents, so I'm putting them in a smaller, blue text to help you skip them, if you choose.)      Like many people during the COVID19 quarantine, I've been surfin' the net.  One of the channels on YouTube I watch now and then had a video discussing her current opinion and questions on "craft room tour" videos.   (Lindsey Weirich, the Frugal Crafter, if you want to look her up.)   Basically, she said things in a way I needed to help me cl
