We had a really nice time this weekend with my aunt and uncle. Went for a nice hike yesterday and made some tasty pizzas for dinner. Lots of great dessert - Naomi's apple pie (which was better after the freezer than fresh) and a cheesecake from Pat. They left after a fresh sourdough bread breakfast to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with my parents on their way home.
I ruined the food processor by trying to put the chaga in it. A piece got caught between the blade and the side of the bowl, scraping a groove into the plastic. I will need to order a new bowl. Ruined the chaga too, although some of the bigger pieces should be salvageable. I will try it with a meat grinder. Everything else seemed to go wrong that day too. Problems with the bench. The biggest one was that the lid wouldn't open - the armrests were in the way. Had to change the shape of the lid. I think it looks better now though. Always nice to turn mistakes into improvements.
Managed to turn out a couple cutting boards this week. Built a jig to put in juice grooves. Nice to have the first project wrapped up from the new shop. The girls have been getting along well, except for a bit fight about the cat. Our neighbor is on holiday for a couple weeks, and Amélie gets to take care of his cat. Abigail barged in and scared the cat and they fought about it. Since then, the cat has warmed up to Amélie, and all went well except for her locking the key inside the house. I had to break in with a credit card. Luckily that worked!

| Tricky to get the curved corners right for the juice groove. |

| Amélie noticed the chipmunks woke up! There was a crocus at school too. Must be spring, even though it's snowing at the moment. |

| Whoops. |

| Making progress! Just needs to be plugged, sanded and finished. |
