Macho Crafting

My husband and I have been visiting craft stores together for the past 3 weekends. 

We walk holding each others' hand towards the store entrance and then... we go our separate ways. 

It's nice that these stores have items for men too.  My husband, being the ex marine and handyman that he is, loves assembling model cars and trucks.  During trip to the store, he bought not just 1 but 2 tanks and lots of Apple Barrel craft acrylic paint. 

With the numerous paints that he bought, of course he needed a hardcase and wow... he found and bought an Artbin sidekick case.  Ayayayyy... it made me so envious so after flashing my puppy eyes, he bought me one too for my clays and tools.

He was working on the tank last weekend when I caught him scouring through my tools.   Aha!
Being the supportive and loving wife that I am, I told him to use my jewelry tweezers, diagonal cutters, knife and my self-healing craft mat.

Would you believe that he even made a lazy daisy to use for spray painting?

Awesome!  Perhaps he could make one for me too.

Definitely fun!

Mr. Cabby Crafter's Project

Mrs. Cabby Crafter loves to do stuff like handmade cards, jewelry, polymer clay beads and crochet.

She never really had a place to do her crafts and would use her hubby's computer table

or set-up 1 or 2 portable tv dinner tables.

Mr. Cabby Crafter felt so sad for her.

A couple of weeks ago, they went to one of their favorite stores, IKEA, to buy her a table. 

There were so many choices but with dimension issues to consider,

they finally decided on getting a Bjurista table with the retractable side panel.

This gift made her feel so special.

One Sunday afternoon, Mr. Cabby Crafter decided to add shelves.

He grabbed some wood, screws and glue then put it all together.

The variety of powertools in his workshop awed her

especially when the piece was finished in just under 2 hours.

After the piece was sanded, stained and dried, it was ready to use!

TADA!

I love how he designed it such a way that I can put the mostly used containers within my reach.

There are still stuff under the table for my other gadgets and storage bins but I am happy.

 

This is totally my craft corner for now...

though I am wishing that I would have 4 spacious craft corners pretty soon.

 

Happy crafting!
