When we were living in Aluva in a house with some space outside, I got bitten by the woodworking bug from Ana white (www.anawhite.com) . I went about making the bookshelf and bench and the chalkboard (with two sides; one with chalkboard and one white board ) for the kids.
Seeing this bright pink (they are no longer this bright now) in the photos brought back many memories, of toil and craziness. What was I thinking. They are far from perfect. My woodworking tools lie now in the cupboard completely neglected.
