Need to do my To Do's
February 16, 2011 This morning I made three huge To-Do lists (wedding planning, home projects, business goals). I actually accomplished a big wedding task - I finally picked the DJ. I also did a few business/shop-related tasks by taking new photos and listing a few new items in my Etsy shop, but I didn't get a chance to do any home projects.
I'm trying to stay focused on getting money-making work done during the week and save home projects for the weekend, but it kills me because there are so many things I want to do and I get totally obsessed. Anyway, I thought I would share a couple of the projects I have on my list in...maybe it will help to get them out of my brain, but at the very least you may find the instructions useful for your own projects.
Bar Cabinet (Love the idea, but I want to make it more modern and less shabby-chic)

Tool Bench (I'm going to make two - one of them will be for my screen print station!)

I actually did this last year, but now I have a better idea of how to maximize our yard so I'm starting over. Plus, we have a dog who LOVES to dig so I need to make the beds a couple feet higher.
This time I'm planning on using composite lumber (made from recycled polypropylene with wood fibers), which won't rot. There are lots of pre-fab raised beds out there, but they are way expensive and I need at least three. However, making my own shouldn't be too hard and some key supplies can be purchased from here.

My sister had raised garden beds in her backyard last year. It was so amazing to just walk into the back yard and be able to pick a whole salad for lunch!
