Almost There!

My kitchen is so close to being done!

The painted cupboard doors are supposed to come this morning.

In the meantime,

here are a few of the things I've been doing...

Changed two of these to black,

Fixed the stove so it's now the same height as the new countertop,

And took this blind apart because the strings were tangled inside.

I got to wash it while it was on the floor, too.

Final kitchen pics are coming soon!

Yay!

E-6000

I fixed a couple of these today.

 I'm in love with this glue.  

I use it on everything!

 Two of them are under the windows in this picture.

I also cleaned the carpet after the neighbor boy smashed grapes all over my kitchen

and tracked it onto the carpet.

Grrr!

E6000

I just bought my first tube of E6000 and put it to work.

It's permanent and flexible and thick (not like runny super glue).

I have three of these in my house

that now look like this...

And I used two candlestick holders from an estate sale

along with two glass plates from the D.I.

and made these...

 (I tried to get a picture of these with the cookies and brownies on them,

but I wasn't fast enough!)

Overdue Fixes

These two somethings have been needing repair for a long time.

Like years...

I finally got the pieces together today and fixed them.

One was a doll missing some hair and shoes and the other was a wreath missing it's heart.

All fixed...

It took about three years to get around to fixing these things

and three minutes to fix them.

Do you ever have projects like that?

Door Jambed

I'm not exactly sure how this something happened,

but I have about six guesses...

one of five boys or one girl in her walker.

 The hardware on the top was bent

and the hardware on the  bottom of the door pushed inside the split wood.

 I got to work with my wood glue and clamps.

 Now it's as good as new.

Hopefully this something will last a while!

Something That Didn't Stay Done

I fixed this railing several months ago and it didn't stay done,

so today I got to do it again.

This time I did it right

 and used some of these.

(My dad used to call them Molly Bolts.  I wonder who Molly is!?!)

 That should hold.

If the boys don't hang on it, that is!
