WOYWW #186--lots of pics!

After a very long hiatus, I'm back. although I actually did this project back around WOYWW #160!  Between being busy and just flat-out forgetting to post (whoops), it's now WOYWW #186!

Anyhoo, this is a now discontinued IKEA product that I loved, called a Fira. It's a little wooden dresser sort of thing that came in different configurations and you finished it any way you wanted. This is my version, used on my desk to store pencils, pens, binder clips, etc.

Happy Boxing Day!!

Photos after this break.

I've been totally incommunicado for nearly four days I've been checking email randomly, but not facebook at all--I think I've determined I can do without that little social evil--and I don't watch television at all, except for one or two shows we watch on the BBC iPlayer or Hulu. So...imagine my horror this AM when an artist and mom in the UK whom I follow sends out her newsletter and it's about the shootings in Sandy Hook. What shootings, I say...and where is Sandy Hook?
