Growing hobbies when your 40+

Cooking
with all YELLOW
my favorite colors
Happy Mother's Day presents!

Ok: as I was wood-working with all manner of saws last week, I was at home Depot at least 4 times and got fired up to get some of my own stuff: Mini toolbelt
When I hang shelves, pictures, lots of stuff, I have nails in my mouth, a hammer between my knees and the picture balanced somewhere nearby. Now I realized why guys (mostly) wear  tool belts! To have that and your tape measure, a pencil, a level (big new purchase a few years ago, or I should say, a surprising purchase, since a few years ago I didn't know what a level was or did. VERY handy!) 

 Cordless drill!! Finally!!!

Shop glasses!! 
My own toolbox, as I do lots of "home revision/decorating" etc.
So this has been an exciting week; 
its good to learn how to do new stuff and challenge your "old" brain :)
(See post on Arrow of Light to see what I made in "woodshop" last week)
