2010 projects re-cap part 1

2010 projects were plentiful in fact so much so I seem to be out of projects and or money right now , and frankly I need some time off , and winter is no time to get into too much woodwork , so I thought I would recap what I was able to accomplish this past year I got back to June and I am going to stop here for part 1 , come along for the ride and see what a woman on a mission can do. I built an outside table for our deck out of my former island wood top and my friends old table legs , right now it is in pieces in the basement , which reminds me , we really need a big shed for the backyard to store this kind of thing.

this year there were many of these the lamp slipcover, actually I have since added the proper trim to this particular one.

the arbor we finally added which is beautiful all year round.
