Blogging around here has been frustrating lately.

Let me explain.

Last week, Wade and I went to Chicago to visit his parents for the holidays. Knowing that we would be out-of-town,  I thought I was being so smart and organized by writing blogs days ahead of time.

Plan foiled.

WordPress is the website that I use to write and post my blogs. I like to be somewhat consistent with the timing of them, but as you may have noticed that hasn’t happened recently.

WordPress hasn’t been posting my blogs when I have scheduled them. Ugh.

So, blah, blah, blah, please be patient with me for the next couple of weeks as we get all of the kinks worked out.

On to more productive things.

This afternoon I got to take my frustrations out on that dresser I had started earlier.

As you remember there is lots of work to be done. I got those scratches on the top all sanded out, which took a lot of energy but I think it looks great (not to toot my own horn).

The old handles have been removed and the holes are now filled with putty because the new handles I ordered are a different size which calls for new drilled holes.

The cool thing about this project is that it is a work-in-progress, kind of like my blog currently.

I want the top drawer to not look like it has two separate drawers to it. I want it to be one solid drawer all of the way across like the other  three drawers. So, I put putty in that fake crack.

The wood putty I used is for staining. Some wood putty is for staining and some is for painting. I  want to stain and paint this piece, but the drawer fronts will be stained.

Now as I wait for the putty to dry, I can work on removing the other handles and sanding the other drawer fronts. I have to sand the putty after it is all dry too, but don’t worry you won’t have to read about that. (Reading about sanding is boring.)  🙂

This dresser could turn out great, just like my inspiration (check it out here), or it could turn out not so great and I  have will start all over.

Cross your fingers that this wood putty is amazing!
