The White Stuff

It was a Different Time!

While ads in the 1920s warned women that they would be lonely if they were too heavy, many Depression-era ads chided women who were too thin. Advertisement from the August 1935 issue of Motion Picture courtesy of University of Southern California Cinematic Arts Library.

Hmmm, a project without an intended recipient.

Give Thanks

Finally Finished!

Jacob and I have taken up woodworking as a hobby and a way to spend time doing something (other than watching TV) together. Something we are both novices at so that one of us does not feel inferior to the other. Lets face it, I can knit circles around him and he "pwns" me in video games. (Did I use that word right? I think its a verb.)

So we built ourselves a bookshelf:

We started with a basic box.

We even thought we were fancy enough to do dovetail joints.

Dave liked to help out.

At first we were only going to make two shelves, since I miscounted and didn't buy enough wood at the store.

But we decided we didn't have enough tall stuff to put on the top space and hadn't planned the shelves to be re-positionable. Note, here we have added some molding to the top and bottom.
