Happy Woodworker Wednesday! This week features resourceful, talented, and hard-working Anne Briggs Bohnett of Anne of All Trades, LLC!
Anne shares, "I took up woodwork and restoring old tools. That hobby has turned into an obsession. I spend much of my time thinking about how I can get better, about new things I can make, and about new books I have to read... In a society dominated by selfishness, consumerism and waste, I am doing my very best to become a producer and recycler and general good citizen of this earth."

On Wednesdays, we do woodworking! This week's feature is Keira James of Meraki Furniture, a dedicated and passionate furniture designer and maker.
She says, "I always wanted to make furniture... For some reason I loved the idea of it, and my mind kept going back to it. For no apparent reason, I wanted to make furniture... I jumped with both feet into the unknown, and it's shaping up to be one of the best decisions of my life. Spend time thinking about what your passion is, you only get one life to live so make sure you spend it doing what you love."
