So I loaded up some games for the boys to do while I was away like ..hink pink online and some fun spelling games for them to practice their vocabulary and spelling words. Then I was off for 4 hours to play in the wood working class at the local arts center! Its something new so there were only two other peeps in the class. Of course, I was the only girl there. Silly men thinking I know nothing about working with power tools and I had to not act insulted when I received a lesson in CAD. (For those of you who don't know, in my previous life BEFORE kids, I went to school for Computer Aided Drafting and did house plans for a local architect.) With might I add some very CRUDE drawings, LOL.
Within about an hour, when the men in the class were nervous to go first on the joiner and planer machines, I think they realized that I knew my way around power tools. This pile of wood above is about an hour and half of work, even though it would have been done in less but there is a thing that I tell my boys is good to have.... patience and sharing the toys. Not saying I could make this by myself but thinking after a couple of classes this might just be my new hobby to relax. I have tried doing stained glass WHICH I loved but my hands didn't, pottery classes which.. well I think that one project turned out keepable but this one might be up my alley. At least I hope that I can continue to do it!! Stay tuned for the finished project.... and thanks to listening to me talk so highly of myself! LOL
