I'm so handy!

I have been there done that and have the t-shirt pants to prove it!! LOL ok so maybe not ALL that but I do feel pretty productive.  I have been pretty crafty lately and I'm showing off my skills.

In no particular order here are some of my previously unblogged achievements:

Exhibit A: 

Before - our window hatches.

After - window hatches.

I made screens/window shades for them!

Now the sun and the bugs stay out!

Exhibit B:

My friend Mary asked me to help her put decals on a boat.

Not too bad if you ask me (Paint overspray wasn't us!)

Exhibit C:

Ryan wanted a new bag for carrying all his captain stuff around. The zippers on backpacks kept corroding and falling apart.

This is proto type one, it is holding up okay but bag two is on the drawing board and will be bigger and better!

Exhibit D: 

Baskets for our beach treasures. 

They are Made of rope :)

Exhibit E:

I changed the light in the closet.

And I didn't shock myself or burn anything down! The ends are soldered and everything.

Exhibit F:

A bug screen for the "front door"

It's actually just a curtain hung up but it works great.

Exhibit G:

Shelves

Lots and lots of shelves

The boat had several large cabinets and hanging lockers but it was wasted space for us so I started adding shelves. 

Now we can fit more stuff!

 Exhibit H:

I painted Ryan a picture of his little gremlin.

Exhibit I:

I have been studying herbs and the property of the different plants. I am not near as knowledgable as my friend Sarah but I am really enjoying learning and reading about everything.

Our little garden on deck. The snapdragons are just because they are pretty. We also have chives, rosemary, parsley, peppers, and aloe with several other seeds waiting for pots. Oregano, lavender, basil, cilantro, mint, chamomile.

Exhibit J:

A divider for another anchor system in the chain locker.

Ryan actually helped but if he wants credit for everything he's been doing then he should write his own blog ;)

Exhibit K:

Peeled wallpaper in the forward cabin. (Yes, we still have wallpaper but slowly we are getting it all)

Exhibit L:

Selling Photographs printed on canvas

Ok, so I have blogged about this before but it doesn't hurt to plug myself again. :)

Exhibit M:

Tshirt pants

Yes I can make pants...out of t-shirts! 

I know they're AWESOME! LOL 

The internet has the best ideas.

Thanks Eric for the shirt!

Okay, I'm done. 

Thanks for letting me brag.

We miss everyone and hope that you all are safe through the tornados and other weird weather going on. We are getting ready for hurricane season here and have the boat moved into the mangroves. It is hot and the Mosquitos are terrible, hence the need for screens on the doors and windows, but those are small to having the boat safe and secure.

No other news here. Take care and come visit us!
