Non quilting, but this morning I was cleaning out the cubbie hole we store our food in. Or kitchen is very small and the cubbord we use to store food is tucked into the corner. So its a narrow opening but wide and deep so stuff gets lost...
So this moning while I was trying to organize it-again so I can SEE what I have. I got the idea to make a shelf but I'm trying to be furgal as well. So I started thinking.... Ended up at Home Depo and an encounter with helpful sales person I ended up with a .55 1X8 pine from a clearance bin. Well the hubby is still at work but I found the jig saw in the garage so I figured I give it a try. If I messed up I was only out .55 LOL. That worked so I found a hammer and some nails left over from fininshing the basement. AND...... Here it is my .55 shelf! and I DID IT MYSELF :D :D NO men required(sorry men) |
Good for you! Great job! It will make it so much easier to find stuff in there :-)
|

great job , just love it when a woman can do things on her own.
|
Great job!
|
Bravo for you!!!!! I often do things like that around the house. My DH is far from being a handy man.
|
I will take 2 please! LOL, I love it, great job!
|
You go girl! :thumbup:
|
some things men want us to think we can't do ecause of the label we grew up with made tools so intiminating to women What year is it now hee !hee!
|
Very good! Maybe you have room to do another and stack on top of the other! Or several :) great work :)
Oh a helpful hint with can goods is to write the date purchased on the cans and boxes and you will know what to use up first! |
AWESOME!! I do this all the time as my DH is disabled. Unless I want to pay someone to do this stuff (NOT), I just figure out a way to do it myself.
|
isn't that a great feeling:)
|
what a coincidence. I just sat down to rest while I wait for the batteries to charge for my drill and saw. I'm repairing my kitchen cupboards right now too. We women can do anything we decide to.
|
That's a neat idea, I think I'll do that with some very, very deep storage areas in my kitchen. At my age it's no fun to crawl around under there, so think that I'll make something like this, wider and with sides and put rollers on the bottom, like a drawer. I can find rollers that have flat bottoms and can be attached with 4 screws. And when I yank them out of the bottom of the cupboards, they will fall 2 inches to the floor and bring all the stuff to the front so
I can see it easier. Thanks for the idea, I've just been griping about these far too long and not doing a darn thing about them. Plus, I still have a lot of my late DH's wood stored away, needs to be used. |
That's really nice!!!!!!!!! Good job and you will have a useful shelf :D:D
|
Great work at a very low cost!
If you plan on putting heavy things on it. you might want to add a center support. I have a few bowing shelves...experience is a great teacher. |
If they say it can't be done then don't stand in womans way while she is doing it.
|
watch out you did such a great job your DH may start a 'honey do' list for you.

Great Job... yeah... sometimes we have to just do it ourself ... but not too often... the guys will get the idea they aren't needed. :D
|
Good for you. Looks great. And you finished it all in one day. Wish the men in my family had that kind of talent. LOL
|
You are woman, hear you roar!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

WOW! You should be on one of those Home Depot ads. Another showing that women are adaptable to the situation of need.
|
On old saying in my family..."necessity is the Mother of invention". It has always worked for me.
|
You Go Girl!! Great job :-)
|
Way to go! You're on the right road to organization

My woodworking experience began something like yours. I have 3 passions. Sewing, gardening, and woodworking. Thus, I have a sewing room that also expands into the living room, 5+ gardens and a woodworking room. My stash of wood is in a different basement space. My husband always 'asks' before using any of my wood stash. -- This may just be the beginning of another very functional craft.

It seems to me that woodworking isn't very different from quilting. You cut large pieces into smaller pieces and put them back together. Comgrads on finding a solution!
|
gorgeous floors!
|
Great job!!

---------------------------------- Never thought of it that way. Of course that is why we can do woodworking as well as quilting. Sure does make sense to me. I've always felt that wood is almost plastic, the way we can bend, cut, glue and fix it together and make a lovely, practical piece of wood that helps us in our work. |
Great job! That will be so helpful! I need something like that :) Wanna come over? I've got $0.55 rattling around somewhere :D
|
You did a great job!!!
|
Great shelf, now does it fit in the cabinet?
