Making a Hitty Bench - Part Two

My bench has been finished and it blends in nicely with the other furniture.  Perhaps a tad light but I'm sure that doesn't really matter.  My person was a bit upset that the new glue she used shows through the colour washed, but I have assured her I don't mind, it just adds to the character of the bench, and it is perfectly okay for a first attempt.  I have been delighting in having a nothing read of Hitty Robertson's 10th Anniversary book and have just heard that Hitty Moana is going to bring me a cup of tea.  Isn't that nice of her?

Hitty Ethel has been busy at the sewing machine, but won't let on what she has been making.

Making a Hitty Bench - Part One

Hitty Patience asked for a bench to add to their furniture - after all Hitty MUST have a bench!

Fortunately I had found a tutorial while browsing the Hitty Girls site.  My son had some balsa wood from a never completed project, all I had to do was to cycle down the road to get a stanley knife.

Hitty Patience wanders over to check out the almost finished bench.

She gives it a good inspection.

Tries it out for size...

"Yes I think this will do nicely", she says.  "All it needs now is staining the same colour as our other furniture please."

Fortunately I had some dark green wash stain.

Looks a bit dark here, but I am sure it will lighten up once it is dry.
