My hubby that is. He wants to build an amplifier. He has had this idea in his head for sometime now, and now that we have our taxes back, he wants to start buying all the parts he needs to get started. I just want to know when he thinks he will have time to do this!?!

He has a guitar in the works, that he is making for his nephew. Our kitchen ceiling is only half done. He wants to put the house up for sale, and now wants to work on an amp. Hmmm… wonder when he will get all of these tasks done!?! I am anxious to see how the guitar comes out. The last few ones he made turned out awesome! I just wish he would have kept the bass one he made, as it was beautiful, and he put alot of time into that one. But he blessed a friend with it, so that is all that matters I guess!

Now for me, I want to check out the sales on fabric, as sewing has become one of my new addictions. I am hoping to master some patterns, but they scare me! So in the mean time I am happy making blankets. I already know what I am going to be making for Christmas presents this year! I may even have them all done before Summer even gets here. This will be my mission!

Time to work on my hubby's building skills. I would like for him to do some altering on our entertainment center, so we can borrow my oldest's TV. Our center is just a hair to narrow for his TV, so if he could just cut down the shelves for the stereo it will work just fine. Otherwise I am on the hunt for a good sale for a new center. I should make sure this will fly with the oldest.  It would be really nice to watch TV on a flat screen, and one that is bigger than what we have now!  I bet even the video games would be a lot nicer as well!

For now my hubby is busy in the basement working on his latest guitar.  He has gotten quite clever in making his "poor man" tools.  We joke about this, but hey when you strapped for cash, you do what ya got to do to get the job done.  

I wish he would try to attempt to make his own acuostic guitar. He has been reading up on this, so someday it will happen. This is one hobby of his, that I am still hoping it turns into a money making job for him  He is good at what he does, and makes beautiful guitars!

I need to get busy with my creations so I can have a nice supple of items to have at some craft shows. I would like to get a portable credit card machine to have on hand for any purchases made by credit cards. I have seen some at shows, and can only think that they get more sales by having one.

As soon as I finish these few baby gifts I will start making towel toppers, dish cloth, baby items, maybe even socks.  Who knows!  So many ideas going through my head.  The credit card machine will come in handy for any guitars my hubby makes as well.  

John is getting ready to start another guitar. He just order the parts he needs, and they should be here any day now. Tomorrow he is going to cut out the body, there will be 3 parts to this one so he is going to have to get his dads industrial clamps to use when he glues them together. This is the only part in the guitar making process that I have a hand in, as I have to help hold the wood while he is clamping it tight. This guitar is for his nephew, and will be pretty neat looking when he gets it done.
