This was my Thursday

It was a bright sun-shinny day today, and pretty warm. I had to go for my yearly mammogram today. So, I guess most of you ladies know that this is not so much fun. You get your boobs tugged and pulled and smashed. It wasn't that bad though, it didn't take too long. My daughter has been waiting to get a metal building put up in her back yard. She re purposes furniture, and it's getting to be too much to do it in the house, or on the front porch. She had the concrete slab poured a couple of weeks ago; today she finally got the building put up. I stopped by to have a look at it on the way home. The picture is of a pair of nightstands she made from an old desk.

@shubhu3 In fact I could not understand who and why would have been careful.

@LadyDuck Careful as in for daughter. Building the desk requires one to be cautious though she has completed it. I don't know why I said after she has already done it.

Those night stands look pretty. I hope your daughter will have the metal building installed soon, it's hard to keep all the furniture in the home.

They were assembling it yesterday, so she's probably moving furniture right now!

I'm going to need to do that this year. No, it's not fun. I'm glad your daughter has her building up so she can repurpose furniture there instead of in the house. Those are beautiful nightstands.

We must take care of ourselves, even when it's not fun. The night stands are one of her plainer projects. I will have to post some others sometime.

I saw the nightstand and thought...hmmmm, with a board on top that would be a great destroy for my sewing room.

@norcal Maybe it's because I'll be moving all of my stuff I to a new and improved sewing room in a few weeks.

Funny! She finds that these nightstands or "side tables" as they seem to call them around here, are a big seller. Not many people seem to want the desks as they are, even when she paints them up pretty.

The night-stands look very nice. Good for your daughter. It's very satisfying making something from something else.

@norcal It's a shame she had a setback but good she is getting over it now.

She was really building up her business, but she broke up with her long-time boyfriend at the end of the summer, and that kind of took the wind out of her sails. She's getting on with it now though.
