For diapers, lotion, powder and such....

Custom diaper box to match baby blanket material.

Coastal Dining Decor

I made this centerpiece for my own table out of wood. Paint, starfish knobs, sand and seashells and I have a beachy table decoration. It will be fun to change the contents for holidays.

Beach Craft

 I saw something similar to this paint brush craft used for a beach wedding. The bride and groom's names and wedding date were printed on the handle and they were set in a basket for guests. 

I painted mine for welcome baskets as I wanted my Florida guests to have some beach goodies when they got here.

Wedding Sign

Custom sign for a wedding from the mother of the bride.

wood burning on cedar

I used the wood burner, acrylics and spar urethane to decorate the tops of these boxes. The inside has bark for the butterflies to land on.

Lizard Photography

There are so many lizards around the house. I can't help but put down the hammer for a minute to get a good photo of these funny creatures.

Lady in purple

The prom is Saturday. I sure had a blast making decorations. Have fun kids!

More prom table centerpieces...

Peacocks are in....

Owls are still in, but from what I have noticed, the latest in clothing, weddings, and home decor seems to Peacocks. This was painted on plywood with the homeowners matching acrylic latex paint colors.

Better Looking Laundry Storage

I could not stand having the white metal shelf in my laundry room. The door is always open, so I thought I would attempt to make my own shelves. I did it!! I am just learning to build my own furniture and I am certainly not an pro, but I was pleased with the way my shelves turned out. I even made my own corbels!

I wasn't able to get a photo of the full shelf because it goes wall to wall, but you can see from this photo I have a lot more storage space and it's just a bit nicer to look at than metal shelves.

Cirque du Soleil - Quidam

The headless man at the beginning of Cirque du Soleil Quidam.

The seniors have all been working hard getting the prom decorations ready. It will be great to see everything set up!

painted file box

This file box was made of plywood and painted for a home office.

Cirque du Soleil Prom table centerpieces

These are free-standing and are painted on plywood. They will be used for photo props and decorations for prom.

I am currently working on decorations for the NWFSC Collegiate High School prom. Their theme is Cirque du Soleil. These are a few of the table centerpieces.

Dress-Up Box

This dress-up box was made using a plan from www.ana-white.com. What a great website....thanks Ana!

Shoes go on the bottom and a mirror and hooks will go on the sides.

These were gift orders made with wood. The flowers were cut out and painted, then glued onto the boxes.

Outdoor Bar Art

This piece of art was designed for an outdoor bar. It was made with barn wood, plywood and scrap pieces that were found or given to me. The bottom piece will be used as a shelf and is not attached. It is very heavy and will need brackets underneath for support. I really enjoyed making this and can hardly wait to see it installed!

This birdhouse was made to look like the customer's real house. It was made to fit over a 4X4 post and has few extras ; the fishing pole on the side and, at the request of a very sweet 4 year old girl, "Pink on the inside, please".

This box was made to hold my daughter's CDs. It was made of untreated cedar, carved and painted on the front.

Frame for Mom

I bought an unfinished frame at Michael's. I drew on the design, then used my wood burning tool and Dremel to carve on the lines. I used acrylics to paint it. I think by placing a piece of wrapping paper inside the frame before the photo is inserted makes it look better when you're giving it as a gift. This one is for my Mom. What a wonderful time we had in Colorado with our family this year!

Thanks, Mom

For my dear friend Pat.....Merry Christmas! Our shopping tradition lives on...travel or not!! So much fun today, thanks!

For my sister...I love you!

Baby Doll Cradle

A gift for our Alabama fans....Merry Christmas!

I have always admired Sticks furniture. This is my attempt to do something similar. I made this tray with plywood and carved the pictures with a dremmel and a wood burning tool. Then I painted it with acrylics.

It was my gift for the dirty santa game at our Bunco Christmas Party this year.

For Luz....Merry Christmas!

We had fun decorating Passages with help from new friends and neighbors. Thanks everyone!!

Checking off my Christmas order list.....Snoopy and Woodstock yard art. Most of my orders are gifts this year so I won't be able to post photos of those until after Christmas. In the mean time, I've been setting up my own yard and our neighborhood entrance for the holidays with a few improvements from last year.
