venetian basket

[CowboyHippy]

One of the many things on my to do list was to trim up the venetian blinds

After we put in the new windows we blocked the glare with some venetian blinds, cheap, easy, quick, although I do prefer drapes, and those will come eventually.

We bought enough for all the windows, proper width, fit perfect, but they could be used for windows that were a whole lot taller.

So I trimmed them up made them look all nice. Twas an easy job and I bet if I were an instruction reading sort of man, I might have learned this long ago.

The excess slats had been sitting around for a few weeks,
little bit of over and under and a touch of through and wallah!

Good re-using and good project if you happen to run out of sandpaper while making a banjo

Your son is too cute!

well, yeah, although it was a balmy 17 earlier. too cold to go out and weld bicycles. some busy weekends keeping me from camping till the end of feb.

his grandma made him that hat (matching one for pint size too) he wears it everywhere, even to bed.

i dunno if he will to school. covers up his blonde hippy mop. i think he's the only kid in school who's parents dont butch cut him.

he knows when daddy dresses up he wears a tie, so a while back he wanted to wear one to school, but not with a dress shirt, so he clipped the tie on his tee shirt, then bailed as my wife was dropping him off. we're figuring he was trying to impress one of the young ladies in his class.
