Saws, Glorious Saws!
Ever since 7th grade wood shop, I've had a desire to delve into woodworking. But with my overzealous --*cough, cough*-- ok, ok, my obsessive-compulsive approach to high school, and then college, and then marriage, and then grad school, and then a career in finance, and then a baby (who is just SO stinking adorable, by the way), I just never seemed to find the time.
But then a miracle happened.
After my little boy was born, I had the opportunity to quit my job and stay home with him. And guess what? He eventually started taking naps! Which meant that I finally had a chance to do some of the things I'd always wanted to do! And that meant power tools. Like, lots of power tools. And while it all started with an ancient, rusted scroll saw for my birthday one year, the collection has steadily grown to include some of the schnazziest, most delectable power tools a gal could ever hope for! I soon got over my fear of a bloody parting with my fingers as I developed an overwhelming urge to make furniture, sheds, home decor, and more--and that drive is still with me as I'm making custom signs and decor here on Etsy!
There's still this charming, time-intensive toddler (and now a newborn girl!) who keep me on my toes during their waking hours, but come nap time, consider me your personal creator of all things wood!
