  44. Currently, I'm working on the final touches of a set of nesting tables. You know how they say it takes 20% of the time to finish 80% of the project but 80% of your time goes into the last 20% of it? Yeah, "they" are right. It's an old set passed down from my wonderful Grandmother a couple years ago after she passed away. I wanted to use them more and painting them (they were originally just "wood"...maple maybe?) I can match them to the house thereby making them more "us". I'm sure photos will follow on my blog some time this year :)
    Okay, there's my novel. That's got to be worth a win all in itself. Ha ha.
