Drawer front hook rack

On one of my trips to the "Garbage recycle center" someone had tossed a dresser into the wood pile. I managed to salvage this drawer front....took it home and removed the handles, then with a big chain, hit it all over to make the "dents". Then I painted the entire surface black. When it was dry, I sanded it down to show the original brown and the dents are the black specks all over, this worked well to hide the scuff marks. I had picked up some hooks at the hardware store and put two in the same spot that the handles where and the third I measured and put in the center! Soooo cute!!

Micro Mini Log Cabin Heart Pattern

Love is definitely a funny thing. The dictionary describes it as an intense feeling of deep affection. Wikipedia explains love as ‘encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states.’ However we try to explain it or understand it, love is very exciting, complicated and even painful. I have spent a good portion of my life dedicated to those I love, by comitting my time, energy, and efforts while creating lasting and meaninful relationships. I have collected these lasting memories that are being stored on the shelves of my life. James M. Barrie said it perfectly; “God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” I still remember my first love...Ah! The sweetness of young love! We were in Grade 1, and on Valentine’s Day he presented me with the most wonderful handmade gift, a stuffed heart. It was made of flannel and had white lace around the outer edges. It looked like it was something he made, with hot glue holding it together, although I am sure he ...
