My Latest Owls

These are my newest set of owls that I finished today made with the Hoot N Holler Cricut cartridge.  They’re kind of funky looking with  their bright colors and mis-shaped eyes and bellies.  I added a bit of dimension to the wings by cutting them out of 1/8″ particle board and sticking them on to the existing wings.  I think they’re a bright and cheerful set, and would be a fun addition to a little girl’s room! I’ll be making book ends out of these owls and some other styles I have in mind soon.  Watch for those, as well as the unfinished...

Owl Coat Rack

I finally got around to making a coat rack to match my owl and hedgehog bookends.  This coat rack was based around the Love and Nature bedding set as well.  This project isn’t actually finished yet, but I thought I would post a picture of how it’s looking so far. I cut the branch out of 3/4″ mdf and plan to glue the green leaves on to it (right now they’re just sitting there).  I also want to make new owls for it but I sat a set I currently have on hand on top just to see how it would look.  I also added two faux crystal knobs to it as my coat...

Love and Nature Bookends

I just finished a set of bookends I did for a customer to match her daughter’s bedroom set.  I found that these bookends match the Love and Nature bedding collection available at Target (I’m not sure if this is the bedding set my customer has as I went by photos she sent me).  The set is really cute with owls, birds and hedgehogs. I did these owls in pink and green paint, and added papers in pinks, greens, orange, and blues.  I also added some patterned flowers, as well as pink and blue hearts, to the ends.  The flowers stand out in the pictures but they...

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...

Club Penguin Puffle

Here’s another Club Penguin Puffle I made the other day.  I put the svg up at Craft Edge a couple of days ago under the ‘cartoon’ category and forgot to post a photo of it here.  I’m going to be adding an angry puffle (I think he’s the grey or black one) right away too, so keep an eye out for that.  I still have to get my wood cutouts put up on my site but I’ve been a little busy the last couple of days.  I’m making a new set of bookends for a friend of mine, so I’ll post a picture of those when I’m done as well!.

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....
