Finished (Almost)

Over 9 months ago I posted about converting vintage wooden hangers into jewelry holders here. Over 9 months later and I just now finished attaching the cup hooks to one of them. The wood is so hard, could not do it by hand, so the project was put on the back burner. Well - I christened this little guy!
Actually the wood was almost to hard for the drill also, but just worked slow and let the bit cool between each one.
Ran out of hooks and was not interested in making a trip to the hardware store at the time, so will add more hooks and to the other one later.

Even tho I want to add more, I am joining in with Susan @ "Metamorphosis Monday"
and Kim @ "Wow Us Wednesday"
Who knows - may be another 9 or 10 months before I get around to finishing this up. Ooops!
Be sure and visit Susan to see what she and the other participants have to share this week. Thanks Susan for hosting again this week - you are appreciated!

When got up this morning, it was raining and dreary outside and that sorta set the tone for the day - all I have wanted to do is be lazy................

Here it is mid afternoon, the sun is shining and my "get up and go" got up and left with out me.

Lets all have a great week!

  7. I recently bought some new wooden hangers. I bet those wimpy things wouldn't be at all hard to drill through! Yours are made to last.

  9. Wow, look at you! Those are too cute. I know all about that get up and go. I'm about to take some tylenol very shortly and go to bed because mine has gone and left me with all sorts of aches today, lol. We finally had some decent weather today, so we played outside all day! Have a great week Glenda!

  10. What a great idea, Glenda. I always have things in snarls and clumps. I need to get Bandwidth to make me some of these. But I just thought of something..now that you've told me how hard those hangers are, I might use them as a murder weapon in a Teeny novel. LOL

    According to my iPhone, we won't see the sun until Saturday. :-(
