Children’s Wooden Name Puzzle

by

The world of blogging is a weird one, but I'm so grateful for the friendships I've made over the years through this endeavor. I've had the honor of meeting and hanging our with Liz Marie a few times over the years, and she is SUCH a gem of a human being. I've followed her infertility journey for so long, and have been so deeply invested in her story. So when Liz and Jose announced that ... [ Read More ]

Wooden Scroll Saw Logo Sign

by

Recently, one of my dear friends started a business selling beautiful, handmade children's clothing and hand-picked antiques. She calls it Wild Petunia, and I love everything about it. I'm obsessed with her logo of wildflowers (which she hand-drew herself!), and I wanted to show my support and excitement for her new business, so I decided to make a sign for her with her logo and business ...

Looking Back at 2018

by

Well folks... 2018 was one for the books. Every year, between Christmas and New Years, I set aside some time to look back through a year's worth of blog posts and projects and gather them up in one happy/tidy post. Kind of like a recap of the whole year. In doing so this time around, I was shocked by just how much we squeezed into a single year. Sometimes it feels like we bit off more than ... [ Read More ]

Wood Wall Art Challenge Roundup

by

A couple weeks ago, Nick and I hosted a big ol' collaboration involving a TON of other makers, bloggers, and YouTubers called the Wood Wall Art Challenge. It was SO FUN! Everyone made their own unique wooden artwork, and the creativity was so inspiring! The only parameters were that the art be square (but any size!) and be made of 'mostly wood'. We've never been accused of being legalistic. I ... [ Read More ]

Wood and Mirror Geometric 3D Wall Art

You know from this post and this post that we’re huge fans of wood art and making wood LOOK like 3D wall art! Nick had a brilliant idea to make a patterned ‘3D-illusion’ art that incorporates pieces of MIRROR! We were having so much fun making this piece that we decided to invite some buildy-blogger (and YouTuber!) friends to join in! We challenged them to create a piece of art with only two ...

Valentine’s Scroll Saw Plaque

by

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. One of her favorite shapes to cut out is a HEART, and that got me thinking it would be so fun to share a beginner scroll saw tutorial with hearts for Valentine’s Day! The kids loved watching this ...
