Every single item on our Etsy shop SyWoodInk has a tutorial here on our blog so you can make them for yourself instead of having to purchase! In fact, the ONLY reason we opened the shop is because we know many of you don’t have the tools necessary to pull off our tutorials, but may still want the product and are willing to pay for it.

Creating Silhouette Art using a Scroll Saw

by

I’ve been spending a lot of time with my scroll saw lately. It gives me a lot of time to think about other creative things I could be making with my scroll saw. I ask myself questions like: WHY not cut shapes other than states? and WHY not do a reverse silhouette instead? Groundbreaking, I know. I decided to play around with some ideas, and started with cutting a 1” pine board down to 8x10 ... [ Read More ]

Herringbone Patchwork Accent Wall {Part 1}

by

There’s been a lot of snot flying around over here... mostly from ME. Tis the season I guess, right? Last night I slathered Vick’s vapor rub on the bottom of my feet, turned on the vaporizer, chugged some Nyquil, and went to bed early. I hope the girls don’t get it as bad as I have it! Lucky for me, I can sit back and relax because we just finished a bunch of orders from our Etsy shop and a big ... [ Read More ]

Oh just STUFF

by

Phewf! This week has been a doozy! I reeeeeally, really, really hoped to post about the accent wall in the girls’ room today, but alas (as usual) DIY throws us a curveball. We’re waiting on a tool to come in the mail so we can finish things, and it’s been delayed another week. UGH! Luckily I’m not a planner and I can roll with the punches. I seriously considered posting a sneak preview, but I just ... [ Read More ]

by

A few years ago, we installed a clothespin under our kitchen cabinets to hold recipes and keep them out of messy ingredients while cooking... because who likes crusty recipe cards? It served it’s purpose for a good long time! As time has worn on and technology advances, we now need to keep our tablets out of the mess. Amiright? Pulling up a recipe on your iPad and bringing it to the kitchen ... [ Read More ]

What’s HAPPENIN’!

by

Man, it’s almost as if I posted the toddler beds and then decided to take a blogging siesta! Sorry folks! We’re still alive over here! Nick and I are in the throes of Christmas-gift-making, and trying to stay ahead of the game so we don’t find ourselves in a panic come December. Handmade gifts are definitely easier on the pocketbook, but take a lot more planning. FO SHO. We’ve also been making ... [ Read More ]

FINALLY Pulled the Curtain Trigger!

by

You might remember... oh about 6 months ago, we asked your opinion on our Facebook page about which curtains and gave you these options. There were 151 of you that weighed in, and while I loved reading each of your suggestions and reasons behind them, there was no obvious front-runner. And curtains weren’t really in the budget just then anyway, so I just tried to put it out of my mind for the ... [ Read More ]
