Bob the Builder

You can call him Bob the Builder. My Bob the Builder that is...

Ryan and I have started to do a little building. I am a bit of a blog junkie, and I follow a Blog called Shanty 2 Chic that has so many fun DIY woodworking projects I have been wanting to try. She makes them dummy proof, by giving you step-by-step tutorials for all of her creations. 

So for Christmas and my birthday, my parents spoiled us with a new saw and a really cool gadget called the Kreg Jig. All I know is that lots of people recommend it, and so far it has made our projects a breeze. With the help of my hot handy man husband, our new saw and Kreg jig, we built a fun frame for the mirror in one of our bathrooms. It was a really simple project. It literally took us 10 minutes to put together once we fixed my measurement screw up. I am not allowed to use the saw considering my track record with knives in the kitchen, but Ryan is really good at using it. We have a bunch of fun projects we want to try. We are starting small and quickly getting into some larger projects. 

When Ryan and I were dating, he told me he wasn't much of a "handy" man. But since we've been married, I have been so impressed with his willingness to try. He has become quite the little fixer handy man. And he seems to enjoy our little projects too.
