This summer my project include teaching myself to wire lamps (I've done a couple before, but this will be different), do some furniture repair, including wicker and do some careful refinishing...I picked up an antique chest from freecycle...quarter sawn oak...so much for just painting it...once I stripped the old finish I found a nice wood under it and the top wasn't that bad after all...just the finish had been destroyed.

I think alot of people underestimate what "homemakers" do, and I think you've hit the nail on the head. Women who's job it is to take care of the house and family have to wear many hats. I know my mom did when she was a SHM. It's my goal in life to be able to be a SHM and these are the tools I will have to learn. Thanks for the post! Jen www.afterthealter.com Great post!
