A low chair upside down beside a sink. It's in a state of disrepair. Half the paint has been stripped. There are holes around the edge of the seat that indicate it once had a woven bottom.

The world's slowest furniture restorer - I've just discovered the bottom of the seat was once woven like the back. Now, I have to decide whether to upholster the seat or learn how to do a whole new craft. Baskets? Yes? Chair bottoms? Hmmm. #MakingItHome

A carrier bag full of neckties that belonged to my papa.

Counted all the boxes, bags, & drawers that are still to be unpacked & sorted, & then disposed of, remade or rehomed. If I do one a day, it will take a year. A year. Books. Papers. Textiles. OK. One a day for a year. This is a bag of ties. They'll become a skirt. #MakingItHome
