Some quick assembly, sanding, red paint and wax and aaah, my building itch was scratched (for a day or two anyway).

Sometimes a Girl Just Has to Build
I love to paint. I love to repurpose. I love junk. But sometimes, I just have to build something. Cutting the wood, drilling, screws...it feeds my soul to create something new from scraps of wood. Using some fence boards my neighbor gave me, I made a little stool/bench.
I had no plan when I started, wasn't even sure what I was creating (as is often the case with us abstract random people), but started by cutting one of the boards into 4 equal pieces. I decided these would make good sides or legs for a little table. A few more cuts and then I figured out I was making a stool.
