Am I the only person in America without a garage full of tools? I have the basics: hammer, nails, assorted screwdrivers. I'm also proud of the fact that I have one drawer in the kitchen designated to every battery size known to man. But this week I found out that I'm missing the true necessary tools to be considered "crafty". I just filmed a few episodes of a new show for the DIY Network. We made a variety of items including candle holders made out of concrete & belt buckles out of silver clay. I've learned that to be a successful crafter you need, not only time, patience & steady hands but : a nail gun with an air compressor, a blow torch, a kiln and assorted acid sprays & stains. Does everyone but me have a workshop in their garage? Where do you park your car?

Well I have a convertible, so it's absolutely mandatory to keep it in the garage - parked CAREFULLY next to the snowblower and lawnmower.
A nail gun and a blowtorch - it sounds like I'm sadly underequipped in the tool department. It's depressing enough watching the New Yankee Workshop and seeing that I have to buy $50,000 worth of tools to build $5,000 worth of furniture; now I need power tools for my decopauge!
Any word on when the shows will air? Although I've long believed Martha Stewart to be evil (or an alien), I think I'd like to watch some serious construction that goes along with tools of destruction!
Erin,
your writing is pure magic, I love entering your world and discovering the facets that draw one in, become absorbing and then lead one out to another entertaining moment.
You are always an exciting discovery!
