Hallowe’en Decor – Beware sign
Did I tell you I bought a scroll saw the other week? Yup, I picked up a cheapo on Kijiji (the Canadian equivalent of Craig’s List) a couple of weeks ago, then three days later I noticed my Step-Dad had a brand new scroll saw (still in the box) in his garage. Scroll saw number […]
“Lord, give me wine” coffee tray
I had a customer request to make a “farmhouse tray” that was 36″ by 20″ (huge) with black pipe handles and a quote on the front. The tray was/is going to be used on an upholstered ottoman to set drinks etc and not really as a carrying tray – you’d have to have strong arms […]
Wood Tealight Houses
I’d seen this image of a wood tea light house on Pinterest: [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”] and I wanted one. Nope, I NEEDED one! Isn’t it just the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen? Did […]
Fall Decor – Scrap wood pumpkin
Remember the other day when I was showing you my scrap wood crows? In the background you might have noticed another project I was plugging away at; a scrap wood pumpkin. I had a scrap piece of 2 x 6″ that was about 6″ long – so I traced out a pumpkin shape on it […]
Canadian Flag – scrap wood Canadiana
If you like puzzles, then you’ll love creating your own version of today’s project: a scrap wood Canadian (or insert your country) Flag. My scrap wood bin (a large garbage pail) is overflowing with bits. I have a wall on the side of my house that is a big expanse of empty – which means […]
Paper Art
I don’t feel like I did this project justice. The hexagonal art piece that this stemmed from is much more inspiring, and Amazing Amy’s circle piece has great colour and balance… but since I went to the effort to make this piece of paper art, and since it’s not horrible, I’m going to share it […]
Scrap Wood Crows – Rockwell Bladerunner
I was looking for ideas to use up some scrap wood the other day – I know, you’re thinking “does she ever do any projects that actually create scrap wood?!” – and yes, one big project, like a sofa table or a privacy planter box creates a fair amount of scrap wood in one project. […]
