The Complete Library

The tangram bookshelves are filled. It's been fun watching Dad fill them with spheres that he has made - finding ways to place the spheres to look like eyes, brains, or something being held.
I tried to get a picture of both shelves together - a bit difficult without a panoramic lens. I am sure enjoying this beautiful room; now the challenge is that Amber and I can keep it clean.

Tangram Bookshelves

After finishing the wonderful diagonal bookshelves for the library, my dad started some other fun tangram bookshelves.
Dad was looking forward to doing these because they were much more fun and challenging. Hmm, I wonder where I get this drive to knit and create. That reminds me, Mom is starting to knit some socks. This is really becoming fun!!

Books in the Bookshelf

I have not done any book organizing for over a month. I've got about two or three cubicles to fill still and stacks and stacks of books to decide which will go into them. So, the books remain in piles on the floor in Bryce's room. I finally decided just to take a picture of the shelves with the books that are in there and post the picture.
I enjoyed organizing these books - I have the reading books organized by author, then most of the school books by subject. It was fun to change the slant of the books, too.

Library Bookshelves - Update

I should have updated this earlier. My dad had the bookshelves ready to put books in at the beginning of the week. He didn't want the joints to show so he made beautiful buttons to cover the joints. These have been made with cocobolo, which is a tropical wood from Central America.
I will post more pictures when the bookshelves are filled.

Bookshelf for the Library




















My dad is building bookshelves for the library where my living room furniture is, and where Amber and I do school. I couldn't wait for them to be finished, so I will blog the process.
I love my dad's talent, creativity, and hard work.
