Sneak Preview

I thought I would give you a little sneak preview of the piano bench! It's coming along nicely, I think! I feel so tall now that I'm actually sitting how I should at the piano! Our short chairs are well... short.

We still have a little ways to go, as you can see.

It still needs:

1. The bottom of the... wow I'm having a total brain freeze... the place where the books will eventually go, it currently doesn't have a bottom.

2. We need to get some hinges so we can attach the top.

3. We need to sand it down some.

4. We need to paint it.

5. We need to put the satin clear coats on.

I know I said that I thought we could get it done before my piano lesson this week? Well, we obviously didn't get it completed before Wednesday, but my piano student canceled because she was sick. So we can hopefully get it done before the next one! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

(When it's finished you'll get a better picture. I like to edit them a bit before I put them on here, but I figured I'd wait until it's completely finished before I made the picture beautiful! Stay tuned!)

Another blog question:

See the sentences in parentheses up there? They are in parentheses because I wanted them really small, but for some reason when I change the text size it hardly ever works. It has worked one time... I also have a problem when I try to change colors. All of my Merry Christmases during Christmas time were supposed to be either red or green or both, but I think I got one that was actually not blue...

So my question is, for all of you fancy bloggers: What is your secret!?!

Thanks in advance!
