In the past few weeks I have purchased a new computer and set it up properly (I hope) plus bought a set of shelves with sliding doors on the bottom section which I also set up!

I'm terrible for hiding away when things need doing - I generally ignore the problem until somebody (Boy) gets so cross with me that they do it for me. BUT I'm trying to change and take things on.

Yes, I am the fix-it queen around here, and I find that artistic abilities go a long way toward being able to camaflage repairs. A friend of our son's broke a lamp base and I epoxied it back together and then painted the repair cracks (of about ten pieces) so you can't even tell. Our younger son hit the ceramic bird bath with the lawnmower and broke the bottom off and into fragments, and again I epoxied it and painted it, then varnished it since it's an outdoor piece. I sew, glue, paint, whatever it takes. It's amazing how good it feels and saves a lot of money too. But I have to admit to passing those electronic jobs on to our fourteen year old. Like I said, I am VERY impressed by your recent accomplishment!Polly Kahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144327981127333878noreply@blogger.com
