I'm still working on the entertainment center. :) I finally got the pieces marked and ready for cutting. I had to plan, mark, and measure and that's not my strong suit. I like to imagine how it'll turn out and paint.
Today, I took the wood to a friend's house and borrowed her table saw. Merril, overhearing that I was going to use a table saw said, "Be careful with those things. People lose more fingers using a table saw than any other tool." I thought to myself, "Good to know." I was very focused on my hand placement whilst using the saw and am happy to say that I'm using all ten fingers to type.
Then I brought the pieces home and prepped them for primer. Here I'm cleaning some trim. 
Here are the cut pieces, ready to be primed.
And then, like an idiot, I got a crazy idea to make my kids' Easter dresses. What...was...I...thinking? Juliet's is almost done. I still need to hem it and attach the buttons on the back. The buttons are little dragonflies to match the dragonflies on the dress. (Suddenly the word dragonfly looks weird.)
Maxine's will be identical except the bodice is pale yellow instead of pink. So the dresses will be similar but different.
And then I'm going to make a tie out of the leftover yellow material for Jack . *chuckle* We're having high hopes for the tie but it might just be hot glued together the night before Easter.

Merril's sister, Megan, is flying home from her mission in Sweden today! We're going to the airport to welcome her home! I'm excited to see her after a year and a half. She's probably somewhere over the ocean about now! Wahoo!

The dresses are/will be cute. You've still got a lot of time and Juliet's dress looks great already!
