Hero of the Month

My hero of the month is Albert J. Dremel.  Eighty years ago,in Wisconsin, he knew the world (and women and crafters) would not survive without this battery operated wonder....(Actually, it's the other battery operated wonder we couldn't live without but that's a blog for another day!).. No matter what my project..drilling, grinding, sharpening, cutting, cleaning, polishing, sanding, routing, carving, engraving...and even pedicures, it is the handiest tool in the drawer!   October's project is drilling tiny little holes in games pieces. (monopoly pieces, dice, scrabble tiles etc.) Next, I'll string them on heavy fish line and tie them to a bare lamp shade frame. You think that's weird?  Well keep it to yourself and you'll be surprised when you see the nifty lamp that will help light up our Culture Cottage.  Here was my inspiration!!
