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.

These bookend kits can be decorated any way you like.  You’ll get a pair of unpainted wood bookends, any two unpainted wood letters, paper letters which will...

New Photos and New Projects

I finally got my photos up!  Check out the new Letter Blocks category, birthday cards, and kids crafts to see the projects I’ve been working on over the past couple of months. Also, I’ve been putting my new saws to work!  I made a name block for my sons room yesterday.  It has a skull on top that I cut out with my band saw and scroll saw, and the block below reads Travis’s Room over the word CAUTION.  It looks good on his shelf and he really likes it, so I’m happy. Today I’m going to work on a set of book ends.  I’ve already cut out...
