Family Fun!!!!


This is what happens when you are the only rooster in the hen house!!!



It appears by the giant smile on his face that he is enjoying this...

Robert is the only boy cousin in the mix of five girls!!!

Emily, Olivia, Madison, Miley and Rowan

Thanks for the laugh girls, you know how I love a good sparkle!!!!

What a girl needs!

3 tools that I totally could not live without!!!

  1. Sounds crazy right?

I use these three tools more than any other in the work shop.

The sliding compound miter saw cuts like a dream, it's great for 45's (needed when making frames) etc.

The air nailer gets the job done quick without showing.

Last, but certainly not least, the sander that shabby's every edge, smooths out the rough spots and removes the paint of an occasional oops...

Aaaahhh, I love power tools!!!!!

Shop talk...



A new hang up, literally and figuratively...

I am totally hung up on vintage hankies, not the concept of coarse (for those of you that know me I am a bit of a germophobe), so the very thought of blowing your snoot into something so amazingly beautiful and stuffing it back in your pocket gives me the heebeegeebee's. But... when you look past purpose and focus on the art I just find myself in utter awe.

I have been collecting these gems for a while topping my collection off with a good stash (22) this weekend. After laundering and ironing them I decided that keeping this little secret all to myself is just down right wrong. It's time to share a bit of my own personal bliss with everyone. (Do I really need one more collection anyway?) David don't you dare answer that question!

They are now hanging in the shop with the cutest itty bitty clothes pins, (which I found at Hobby Lobby, wow is that another whole post or what, Oh the joy of the Hobby Lobby.)

Shop talk...

I realized that many of my posts were photos of what is in the works or on the way to the shop but only a few of the shop itself.

So here it is:
a glimpse into my
"Wonderland"




















If you prefer the darker primitive country look, you guessed it a spot for you too:




Ta dah!!!!!!

I would love to hear what you think...
