How to Apply a Scroll Saw Template

May 18, 2020 by Bethany Sy

When I was first learning to use my scroll saw, one thing that I always struggled with was figuring out how to get my template (or pattern) onto the wood before I start cutting with the scroll saw. Sometimes when it's a larger piece, I'll use an overhead projector, but I really wanted something quicker and easier. So today I'm going to show you what I learned and how to apply a scroll saw ...

Lined Drawstring Backpack Tutorial

April 30, 2020 by Bethany Sy

Every time we go to the park, or for a hike, or to the zoo (or really anything away from home), my kids always ask me to carry their stuff. They find beautiful rocks that they value deeply but don't want to carry. Or their water bottle is too heavy, so naturally they want me to carry it. I could go on and on. Anyway! I've been planning on making each of the girls a lined drawstring backpack ... [ Read More ]

Creative Funks – and a Scroll Saw Tree

March 9, 2020 by Bethany Sy

A couple times a year, I seem to find myself in a creative funk. Uninspired, unmotivated, confused. It usually lasts a couple weeks, and I snap out of it. I'm sure everyone goes through this in one way or another, right? But this last creative funk has lasted MANY MONTHS for me. Making stuff and being productive brings me life, so it was starting to become a problem. I've suffered with ... [ Read More ]

Since I've been in a creative slump and don't have any ... [ Read More ]

We've never had a house with a fireplace, and so we were stoked (see what I did there?) to get this baby LIT. After doing our research we partnered with Osburn, for their modern, quality, and efficient, wood burning inserts. We went with a wood burning insert because ... [ Read More ]

Picture Plaque for Grandparents

January 5, 2020 by Bethany Sy

This idea came straight outta my noggin, and I'm not even sure what to call it or how to title this post! It can totally be used for anyone... not just grandparents.
