New Harvest Blocks
Well my fireplace mantle has been decorated and I’m just about ready for Thanksgiving. I put up a bunch of leafy garland that I bought at Michaels and added my HARVEST blocks that I made a couple of weeks ago. I painted these blocks brown and added patterned paper to each one in fall colors. A couple of little pumpkins finished off the decorations! I would still like to make something for my front entrance as well, like maybe a Give Thanks board, or something like that. Maybe I’ll get to do that before the...
Hallowe’en Countdown Blocks
I just finished my Hallowe’en countdown blocks! This is such a cute project. I made them on 3″ x 3″ square blocks of wood, with a 2″ x 4″ for the bottom block. Each side has been covered in a different pattern of Hallowe’en paper, and each side has a number on it. The blocks were painted black and have been sealed with mod podge and varnish. This is a fun wood project for halloween and kids will love flipping the blocks each day until then! I’m going to be selling a Countdown Blocks Kit soon which will be great for any...

Fall Harvest Kit
The weather is getting a bit cooler and I noticed yesterday that some of the trees are starting to change color already. That can mean one thing…fall is on it’s way. I love everything about fall, the colors, the cooler weather, being able to wear comfy sweaters, and it’s the perfect time to start in on those autumn crafts. I’ve created a new HARVEST kit that includes everything you need to make your own fall decoration. It includes 7 unfinished wood blocks in staggered sizes of 5.5″, 4.5″, and 4″. It also comes with paper...

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...
Name Blocks
Today I’m working on a set of name blocks for a little girls birthday. I’m using scrapbook paper with pink and green patterns, but each page is different. Hopefully she likes those colors, but she’s only 4 so I don’t think it’ll be an issue. I haven’t said anything to my friend about it because I want them to be a surprise. Right now I can’t decide if I want the bottom block to read Sugar and Spice or Sweet n’ Sassy. She’s all of those things, so I guess I’ll see how I feel once I get to that part. I...Please follow & like us :)
