Wood burning projects are one of my favorite things to do.  Have you tried it yet?  It’s so relaxing, and a lot easier than you might think! You don’t have to have drawing skills, you can transfer the image easily enough and if you can trace a line, then you can wood burn!   I’m […]

We’ve had this running joke in our house for awhile now, based on the pop reference to the phrase “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”   It’s a common answer to many of life’s problems… We just don’t have time to deal with that right now.  I’ve joked for years that if I could ever […]

Customize a simple wood pumpkin shape sign with a wood burner to make a beautiful rustic “Give Thanks” decoration just in time for Thanksgiving. *This post contains affiliate links.

I am beyond excited to be participating in the annual Handmade Holidays blog hop again this year! I had so much fun last year. I made a super adorable Minion and Gru wood peg doll set.  They still get played with all the time and I got so many other fun ideas from the other participants! […]

I found a fun Autumn saying the other day that says “Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins Please” and it was so perfect that I just had to do something with it. I love both of those things! I decided that a wood slice was the perfect medium to burn it onto, and I happened to find […]

We have some serious Disney fans around here.  It’s in the blood and we wouldn’t change a thing! My sweet sister in law is about to add another little Disney fan to the family in a few months. We’re anxiously awaiting the new little guy.  She is decorating his sweet nursery with retro Disney stuff, […]

One of my very favorite craft tools is my wood burner (which is not any huge secret). I love to wood burn. It’s also called “pyrography.”  One of my favorite ways to use the wood burner is to make functional art. Art you can use every day! Did you know you can personalize a simple, […]

I got the new Walnut Hollow product catalog the other day! This is a dangerous thing. So many fun things to work with! One of my favorite new items are the Hexagons. Two size of Hexagon wall decor and a Hexagon tray! So many possibilities! They were kind enough to send me the large Hexagon […]

I don’t know how it is for you, but around here we never seem to have any book marks (unless you count random scraps of paper or receipts).  I’m not sure where all our cute ones go. Maybe they’re hanging out with the lost socks and missing scissors. In a house full of book lovers, […]

My lovely friends over at Walnut Hollow sent me these very beautiful wood feathers to play with! It isn’t any secret that I love owls, and by extension feathers, so I was super excited when I saw that they had added these great feathers to the store and I just had to have them.  I […]

We are in the process of redecorating the kitchen. We have repainted the walls, and refinished the counters (that super fun tutorial will be coming soon). I’m working on staining the cabinets, and then we’ll add a backsplash. Lots of fun changes on a super tight budget. I can’t wait to show you!  Part of […]

I’m excited to be over on the Walnut Hollow blog again today showing you how to make this State Sign gift.  I had a lot of fun making it for my best friend (who is my favorite follower here too. Sorry for the gift spoiler H.!)  The step by step instructions are over on the Walnut […]

I love the decorative serving trays I’ve seen around.  Every once in awhile I find one in a store that I think I might love enough to bring home, but the price tags are always a deterrence.  I often think to myself while holding those trays in my hand “I could make this!”  So today, […]
