Leaf-Shaped Modern Nesting Tables

by

Sometimes when I’m out and about shopping with a friend (or my toddler), I’ll see something I love but could TOTALLY make myself. For example, I saw these little tables that are nesting tables shaped like leaves at IKEA! I loved them. But I felt like the price tag was steep… almost laughable. And not only that, I knew I could make them even better. I’m sure you know what happens next. *This ... [ Read More ]

Installing Sliding Barn Door Hardware

by

It’s hard to believe our girl Cypress is turning 3 years old this month. Time flies when you’re having fun! She has proven to be a pretty ‘spicy’ two-year-old, so we’ll see what 3 has in store for us. Sister is spirited to say the least.

Valentine’s Scroll Saw Plaque

I’ve been teaching Paisley how to use the scroll saw lately. And each time I’m giving her a lesson I draw out a handful of different shapes for her to cut out to practice keeping the blade on the line.
