creating art out of scrap wood

 In an Artsy mood with inspiration from Pinterst. I love to repurpose!

Jewelry Holders

Been busy crafting these Jewelry Holders out of barnwood and misc scrap wood. The whole process started with my Dad's hardware supply. A friend of his that works at Menards gave him a bunch of misc knobs and handles about 6 years ago and there just sitting there waiting to be put to good use. So I've been sanding, painting, stenciling my heart out. Actually the most fun I've had crafting in a while.

SCARF LADDER

A few years back we pulled some logs out of the lake that a 

busy Beaver had eaten all the bark off. We let them dry and they sat in the shop for quite a while before I figured out something to create with them.

Yes, I have a lot of scarves I know, 

but I'm a Minnesota girl and they really help keep you warm!

recent crafts

We received a lot of hardware from a friend and my Dad.

Thought this would be a cute way to showcase them.

Plastic pot for our Norfolk pine upstairs that needs to be repotted. 

I was going for a patina look.

A copy cat version from Primitives by Kathy.

I thought $28 ?? I'll make one myself. 

Ended up making 6 for gift giving.

Pizza Party!

Our wonderful friends Scott & Diane had some friends and family over for homemade pizza's.

We each made our own which baked in about 5 minutes since the brick oven was 600°.

Scott T. is a total foodie ~ fresh mozzarella from Cossetta's, andouille sausage, Alligator(!)...

there were toppings I've never heard of, like the thinly sliced meat on the left, 

I thought it was Prosciuttos...wrong 

(and sorry, we can't remember what it is)

It was so nice to be by a warm fire

on a day the high was only 10°!
