My little tool chests

I have the most wonderful neighbours.  They are elderly, retired and sometimes bored.  When they get bored they create stuff but don't know what to do with it as their house is already full of beautiful things.  So the other day I was asked once again if they could build something for me.  He was already in the process of building two small chests of drawers just for the sake of building.  He wanted to know if I could use them to store my sewing tools and thread and what not in them.  Would I have any use for them? 
Hmmmmm!  Let me think!!  It took not even a second to agree that I would love to have them.  The boys and I were then promptly invited over for a sanding party and so we went and sanded and visited and when there wasn't enough for all of us to do at once, Mrs. M. brought the kids into her house and baked goodies with them for them to take home and eat.  We had a grand old time and Mr. and Mrs. M.  seemed to be thrilled to have all the buzz and activity around. 
The next day, I went over again and put a coat of verathane (sp?) on and again then day after that.  Last night I brought them home and put in the little drawer nobs and here I have my two little tool chests,  making me that much more closer to being somewhat organized.  Oh, I love cupboards and drawers.  I love these so much and they are so cute! 
Thank you Neighbours!!


He put small dowel pegs in some of the drawers for my big spools of thread.

 This is for all the art supplies!  finally no more plastic bags and containers.
