Slow Week

Well I haven’t done too much this week.  I did start a new set of bookends, and I cut a couple of Christmas ornaments out of wood, I just can’t figure out how I want to decorate them.  I’m trying to re-organize my work area and I’m taking over my kids desk.  For some reason, any time I start a project, my desk turns into a disaster zone.  Trying to work around my Cricut machine and laptop isn’t fun, so I decided I need an extra work area. I also started a new set of Christmas countdown blocks that I’m waiting to finish.  I’ve...

New ABC 123 Bookends

This is the newest set of bookends I’ve been working on that my friend Brandy asked me to make for a baby shower gift.  Each block is two inches square and has been covered in three different, really cute, ‘So Sophie, My Mind’s Eye’ papers.  I used “Living Proof” Pleasant Stripe, “Forever With You” Delightful Diamond, and “Simple Things” Nice Numbers papers.

Club Penguin Puffle

Puffle Post

I started out by sanding and priming some of my blocks today and got side tracked with another idea.  I decided to try creating a Puffle svg.  My son is into Club Penguin right now so I thought I’d make a little shelf decoration for his room.  Creating this puffle svg hasn’t been easy for me.  I don’t really know how to make svg’s that well, but I’m happy with how it turned out (except I did the one in my photo backwards.  He was supposed to be leaning the other way). I’ll be posting the raw wood puffle shape in my shop tomorrow....
