So I thought I'd take a short break from posting...and just nine months later I'm back!
Funny how life is sometimes...
Anyway, here's something that was created during that time - a treasure box for my daughter's birthday. I used poplar; I can't remember why, but it was nice to work with.
Clara told me it had to be "red, with purple corners". I mixed up some milk paint, and interpreted those instructions loosely...
...but she didn't care! Joy!
And in use.
Of course, now the boy wants one too...
