wherein the garage workshop steps indoors

the bad thing about the DH having his wood workshop in an unheated garage is that this time of year it's not much fun for him to work on things

and some projects, that require a temperature over 40 degrees to work properly, either have to be put off until warmer weather or they have to come into the house

so here we have a project that needed to be glued sitting on the padded vinyl mat that protects the dining room table from damage

it did mean that the heavy books were nearby to hold the pieces being glued in good contact (and yes, there is a piece of parchment paper between the gluing pieces and those books!)

he did this gluing on Saturday, and today the project is back out in the garage workshop for the next step -- drilling and screwing the next piece of the project

yup, the wagon restoration is coming right along
and the knitting of this one is complete -- finished last night

I got a chuckle out of the pattern instructions -- they say that the bound off edge would be a lot looser than the cast on edge and gave advice about stitching the ends together -- sorry, not so in my case -- those edges were a perfect match

I cast on another one right away and did a few rows -- today I need to go through the box of button oddments and see what I can find to finish up this project

the work on the Four Seasons quilt piece has resumed -- I hope to have that all ready for the quilting by the time we head off to Mr Cute's birthday party because it would be a nice small handwork project to carry along (there are always afghan squares, but variety is a good thing)

need to get those Christmas cards into the envelopes
