Slow progress

... but progress all the same!  I finally have the box together.. undercoated and primed on the inside and filled and ready for undercoating the outside.. I still need a piece of wood for the lid (recycled) but we are working on it and by this weekend I should have this all painted. I am feeling rather proud of my first ever foray into woodworking and thank my guides for their understanding of my ignorance of the processes and their gentle encouragement. I am hoping it will be filled with Christmas parcels and perhaps even some birthday ones (I had better get a wriggle on if the latter is to be true this year!!)
Happy St Andrew's day to one and all
