First (Small) Workshop Project

The phone used to sit in a basket with a small flower pot in which C and I kept our various keys -- when we remembered to put them there. That helped to eliminate most of the have-you-seen-my-keys panics when one of us was leaving the house, but the arrangement was a constant source of irritation to me. The flower pot obscured the controls on the phone base unit, and the keys I needed always seemed to be at the bottom of the heap.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I rummaged through my wood scraps and made this little stand. The white plastic drawer stores keys without piling them on top of each other, and I no longer have to hunt for a pen and paper to write down phone numbers and messages.

No more aggravation! Not only that, but C thinks it looks nice. I'm a minor hero for a while.
