About Me

Hi! I'm Summer and I'd love to welcome to my blog!  I'm a 9-5 worker in the business world who loves to craft and create during my down time. 

My husband (henceforth known as The Doctor) and I have settled down in Tennessee. We got a dog (Scruggs) and bought our first house a few years ago and have been making updates along the way.  I'm starting this blog to chronicle some of our house projects, and maybe some of our personal crafting projects. 

I like to sew and embroider items, as well as creating with my Silhouette.  The Doctor is good at everything, but has recently discovered that he loves woodworking, specifically wood turning, and is making some beautiful bowls. 

I hope you'll follow along.  I'd love to hear your ideas and feedback on our projects!
Toots for now,
XOXO from baby Scruggs

Sewing Closet Redo: The Cabinet

I have a pretty great hubby dubs. He built this cabinet for me. Doesn't it look great! It give the closet a fantastic built in look and provides a bunch of storage for my bulky fabrics.  The top drawer is shorter than the bottom two, making it perfect for all those sewing notions that I need, but don't use often.  Like elastic and Velcro.    The wheels lock so I can open the drawers without pulling the cabinet halfway across the room.  I just love it. He built it in the same style as our nightstands. In my head this provides continuity in our house. I don't know that anyone else really cares about that. Oo la la! I can slide it out from under the desk so I still have that workspace and can access my fabric storage in the wings of the closet.  But, wait... SHAZAAM! That, my friends, is a drop leaf extension.  I wanted a drop leaf in the closet but unfortunately it just wouldn't work out. We talked through a bazillion plans ...

Closet Redo: Power Saws!

This past Sunday I had a great time working in the shop (aka garage) with The Doctor.  He supervised me while I used some big scary saws for the very first time.  The first task of the morning was for The Doctor to install a shiny new outlet for me to plug my machines up INSIDE the closet!  No need for cumbersome and unsightly extension cords stretching out of the closet like tentacles.  I got exactly 0 pictures of the install process.  I always think outlets look like little faces.  These two look a little shocked that they're in a closet.  haaaaaahaha! Get it? Shocked.  Electrical outlet.  I crack myself up sometimes. The outlet is about 32 or so inches from the floor so it'll be above the table. It'll be more convenient for plugging everything in rather than reaching down and bumping my head on the underside of the desk.  Don't even try to pretend you're not clumsy like that. Once that got ins...
