I hope everyone had a wonderful start to the new year. We played Rock Band on our friend's Wii -- it was fun, although I won't be asked to play drums in a real band anytime soon.
This past weekend I also had a chance to start on a project I've been wanting to tackle for a while now: wine cork trivets! One of the physicians I work with drinks a LOT of wine so he brings me a bag full of corks every couple of weeks.
My fancy collection center is a wicker basket in the kitchen...
I dug through to make sure the lengths and widths of each cork would match up to my design. Then it's basically like putting together a puzzle. D cut a wood backing and some nice mitered-edge trim for me and after some minor glue incidents, viola! I present a cork trivet -- ready for use as a hot plate holder.
