I finished with the base of the headband, need to clean the other side of this moon and tomorrow I'll have to visit a sewing supply store to buy some thinner gold wire to fill this up with beads.

So the silver and gold crystal chains are literally different densities so the headband looks a bit loose, but it'll work for the purpose I intend it to work.

The worst part about DIY is still running out of money. I made it taller, but now it doesn't have a roof. 🫣😂

Leaky Kitchen Tap

Good news: I own my house Bad news: the kitchen sink decided to start leaking Turned the water off, ran the taps dry, and had a go at tightening it … still a slow drip. Not surprising though, the fitting's probably older than I am. So I took it apart, gave it a wipe down, and found the issue,… read more

Sink Failed During Thanksgiving

For many reasons, mostly shoddy work on the previous owner, but has been leaking a while. Installing a complete new kitchen drain system and will figure out how to prevent the water underneath from moulding.

Replaced An Old Medicine Cabinet & Lighting

First DIY job of the new year. Had to get a bit creative to work around the severed stud in the wall, but pleased overall with the result. Will paint again when the weather gets warmer.

Busy

Not too active on here, trying to make my new house ready to move in. Here's progress on the bedroom

DIY project

It certainly isn't perfect, but the porch didnt have a gate and the stairs didnt have railings. Still have a lot more cleanup work and fixing to do with the rest of the deck. But this is a nice start.

More house progress pics

My room renvation!

New year, new me, new project! New year's eve ripped out the carpet and that first week I laid in the vinyl floor, painted, added new kick boards, and Closet doors it was a dragging project but I love my rooms fresh look now!

Last Outlet Replaced 🔌

Replaced a total of 58 outlets in the new house. Ran out of 3-way light switches, and my little hoodidad here tells me my bathroom GFCI didn’t pass, so another trip to Home Depot tomorrow.

Previously I've managed to mend a small bag, this time it's a dress for someone else.

The first two photos are of the dress and an approximate place that was mended, and the third shows that same place, but reversed. Every time I fix something the back always looks similar to this. Still did a pretty decent job.

Floor lifted, trying to fix chipped tile

Guess what I'm making?🤓

Gotta wait for it to dry and color it first so it's more obvious😆😁

Tool chest on wheels!

Look what I built! Yea the downside is if I need it out I have to empty it. But I'm chuffed with how it's worded out. Designed for the chopsaw, pure luck everything fits in

Before and after | used coffee table

Friend gave me a used coffee table and I wanted to see if I could restore it to some degree lol.

Work in progress. Photo's a bit outdated, sad to say I probably won't make a DIY battery 😅

Finally done

3 weeks and lots of work but porch is finally usable! Excited to start using it this summer!

New worktop progress

Ordered a blockboard wooden board for a new standing desk. First time experience, I made a couple of mistakes, but you can always resand and apply a new oil layer. First picture is the final product.
