Day 8-9

I haven't done a good job tracking my days, but I definitely have been working on this a lot lately. It takes so much work to get to simple and I did, although the final pattern is not shown. I'm making tiny square patterns in a 15x15 space on a 4x4" pin loom square. Sometimes it works on paper but doesn't work in real life :-D

Day 10-13

[calzephyr]

I'm trying to finish up unfinished projects around here (hee!) and one that has been sitting around for a while is a Klämmemacka box from IKEA. I found some brown paint and craft varnish in the stash and have been painting it and varnishing it. It's a long process waiting for coats to dry. I also lost one of the dividers over the years.

If you attempt this project, or plan on buying one, my tip is to give it a light sanding first. I wish I had done this before painting. The little bits of wood get caught in the paint.
