A Little Bit of Wood Working...




As I get ready for Bowerbird Bazaar (23-25th March) I have decided to create a new stall display... I am getting there but wood-working is definitely not my strength. With great ease I was able to draw the new display & with much enjoyment I designed how this display would be assembled. In fact my new wooden structure can also be collapsed to make travelling in the car easier. But... putting this thing together (so that it is functional) is quite a task. I have visions of the shelves collapsing and my Bowerbird stall being a table full of broken vintage plates. Hence I have used an excessive amount of screws and nails! If in doubt put a nail in it, has been my motto. I have sawdust everywhere! Half a dozen power-tools lay scattered across my backyard. My fingers and toes are crossed.  Only 5 days to go with no time for sleep.  My excitement and extreme weariness link arms & onward we go....
