New Items

We have listed some new items in our store. Decided to start making wood supplies. Have never worked with MDF before. We actually like it, it is smooth, barely needs sanding and from what I've read takes paint well. The only drawback for me is the smell. It doesn't bother anybody else in the family but me. My family says I have a nose like no other, I smell things that nobody else does! Not a good thing sometimes! It seems like the older I get the worse it gets.

We will be adding more different kinds of blanks as we get them done.

We are also trying to design a new product that a lot of crafters could use(It's a secret though!).

Haven't came up with the perfect design yet but hope to soon. Ideas usually come to me when I go to bed and then I can't sleep and want to wake my hubby up and say let's get going on this now!

Enjoying the Sun

A fellow employee at the mine my husband works at captured this photo of a Bobcat taking a nap on a piece of equipment. What a beautiful animal!

Beautiful Gift

I am doing another shoutout about Woodturner. He sent me this beautiful ring holder as a thank you. The base is made from Florida Rosewood, the post from Black Walnut. If you haven't already discovered his shop on Etsy now is the time to do so. I have also ordered one of his birdhouse ornaments and was truly amazed when I opened the package to see the actual size of it. I ended up giving it to my sister and her husband for Christmas and they just loved it, it is proudly displayed in their home. I plan on ordering another one for myself.

He is just one of the great sellers I have found on Etsy. You will be truly pleased owning one of his creations.

He has wands, spinning toys, tea candle holders, ring holders, birdhouse ornaments, bottle stoppers, and more.

You can find his shop here:

Rest in Peace

Our beloved Yorkie "Crystal" passed away on Feb. 23rd. She was 15 years old. It was one of the saddest days we have went through. Her buddy Precious (cat) passed away just 5 months ago, she was also 15 as we got them at the same time.

Shop Banners

David is on a new schedule at his job so doesn't have a whole lot of time to scroll saw. My family got me Photoshop Elements for X-mas so thought I'd try my hand at making banners. There is a lot to learn but I'm getting there! Got a long ways to go though before I feel confident enough to list them.

Here are some of the banners I have made:

No longer a baby!

He is getting so big and more beautiful each day. He has a meow that makes your skin crawl. Found out the other night that he is afraid of the dark so now we leave the laundry room light on so he can use the cat box. We have a lot of cats and this is a new one for us!
