Power tools are awesome

The internet was down for a few days, so I used the time off the grid to explore Geelong and make the apartment home-y. I'm on a tight budget these days, but the empty (and expansive) wall space has been grating on my nerves. Armed with countless hours of HGTV know-how I scouted out deals:

- discount table settings at a going out of business dime store
- pillowcases with just the right fabric that will be pulled apart and framed to hang on the wall
- a beautiful meter of fabric that will also hang over the couch
- discount frames for family pictures

It doesn't seem like a lot, but any crafty person knows it takes time to plan the design and take find the right supplies.

Yesterday I hunted for discount wood to make the frames. After some measurements I got to use the power tools to cut them down. I don't use power equipment very often, but it's like riding a bike and pretty soon I was making wood chips fly like a pro. Or an adequate amateur... you be the judge.
