In reply to Kathy V,. It would have been too good to be true to have him nearby - there is definitely a need for his sort of skill and talent! I would love to be an apprentice to a craftsman like that! :-)

In reply to Jenny.

Unfortunately we’re on the West Coast. Shame, I think he’d love to help you out. He has a real “helpers” heart. The ladies where he used to work called him “Mr. Wonderful” I agree! I’m always so impressed watching him remake a door or make a small cabinet to fit just so… Not many will take on those kinds of small jobs or charge a fortune if they do. Plus he’s a great teacher if the student is willing. Perfect, eh?

By the way, he’s looking forward to your videos, too.

In reply to Kathy V,.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Kathy – I’m still having anxiety about it! I would love to be a bird on your husband’s shoulder watching him do his cabinet making work! Does he need an apprentice? 😉 Are you anywhere near the Dayton/Cincinnati area? I could use someone like him for some of the jobs that I’ve been working on lately!

I’m so excited to hear your taking the video plunge! I would love to see your entire process, from prep to finish. And “live” product reviews would be helpful. I’ve been sharing your posts with my husband who is a talented cabinet maker, and he’s enjoyed your finishing tips, which is his least favorite part of the project. I think we could both learn even more through a video! I’m sure the first few takes will feel awkward, but you’ve got this! Really rooting for the blog update, too. It may seem daunting now, but I’m sure it will be worth it.

In reply to cassie @ primitive & proper. I get overwhelmed when I start thinking about all of the work I need to do to get my blog organized like I want it to be. But yes, you have to start somewhere!

In reply to jil. Great! This is on my list of videos to make - my daughter/production assistant was just asking me what we were going to work on this weekend. ;-)

In reply to Lauren@SimplyLKJ. AGREE! The timing of all of it is just way off. I was watching the men's competition and it went even later. I don't know who is planning the programming, but it's no good!

In reply to Terry.

I should also add that I would love to watch more of the Olympians compete. It seems like it’s the USA Show with a sprinkling of Chinese and Russian gymnasts thrown in here and there. I don’t remember it being like this years ago – not a fan of this format at all. But I really hate knowing who is going to win ahead of time! Glad I’m not alone!

Jenny, I totally agree about the news spouting the Olympic results! I watch ABC Nightly News and perhaps they wanted to spoil it for NBC!

I hear ya on the olympics broadcasts. You could issue a spoiler alert for goodness sakes. And, the fact that they aired the gymnastics finals, something just about every little girl in America wants to watch, so late was absurd. A lot of kiddos are back in school and can’t be up that late!!
