I always need an extra tiny table to pile more of my junk on top of, don't you? Where else are you going to put that collection of "stuff" that you just can't part with? So, when I was reading the E-6000 tube the other day, it said that the glue could be used for wood, too! Really? Wood? I had to give it a try. I mean, it is my favorite glue. With a little bit of planning, this is what happened. I loved it so much, I made two. The other one is for the other pile of "stuff" that I just can't part with.
Before it really got piled with stuff!
The colors of my NYC kitchen!
