I had the daunting job of clearing lots of accumulated tools and 'junk' from my late husbands work shed. My son took what I couldn't give away to the local tip but on taking out the drawers of an old chest of drawers that held his tools I decided that I might make use of them. I found a few odd shelves which together with the drawers I thought I'd have a go at making a sewing corner in the spare bedroom. I must admit that sawing with my arthritic hand took for ever but I eventually got there. My lovely friend and neighbour who is a craft addict, just happened to have a roll of stick on fablon which she gave me to hide the joins in the top.
Must say I am quite please with my attempt and sure that OH was really behind it.

Re: My recycling project
Well done.
And well done for getting on with the clearing. 16 months on I'm no further than I was a year ago - still a study packed with books and half finished projects. Did the easy stuff - then gave up.

What a great idea June, very imaginative and I expect it will be a comforting space to be creative in

Re: My recycling project
I really like this, June. Very well thought out and looks good too - usually you get one or the other. It could also be a dressing table if you didn't want to use it any more as craft corner. OH would have been proud of you.
