Wooden tote...

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are all having a great week.  I was able to spend the evening out in the shop building.  I have several orders I need fill so it was great getting being out there.  I wanted to let you know that Dad's follow-up appointment yesterday went well.  They did the ECHO and an EKG and both came back normal.  The doctors decided to hold off on the Abdominal Aortic Aneurism repair for 6 weeks instead of 4 weeks.  They just want to give Dad plenty of time to heal so he'll be in better shape for the next surgery.

Now onto a project I made for the craft fair.  I started out with a stack of wood that I cut down to the sizes I wanted.  I had double the pieces because I was making two of them.

I forgot to take pictures of the building.  I got into the building groove and forgot to stop and pick up the camera.  Bad blogger!

This is what I ended up with from that stack of wood.

Once I sanded them down I painted a base coat of black and a top coat of white and then sanded it to give it a well used appearance.

And here is one of them at the craft fair.  Neither one of them sold but I can always put them to use.  They are great for holding all sorts of things including paint and tools.  Thanks for stopping by.

A hodge podge of things...

Hi Everyone!  Happy Wednesday.  Yesterday was my day off.  I had a long list of things I needed to get accomplished including a trip to my parents home to get their mail and check on their house and I needed to pick up some Power bars to send to my nephew at Marine boot camp.  I also had projects to work on.  Unfortunately, I don't have anything new to show you today.  I was working on building up my inventory for an up coming craft fair.

Here's a stack of new signs that I completed.  I'd show them to you, but you've seen them all already.

I put together some of these.  The base of this one is a large tart pan.  I just love the fluted sides.  I just couldn't decide if I should put it on a base and make it taller.  So I did a few that weren't on a stand.

I also put together a box of soap jars, but these won't make it to the fair.  I need to drop these off at the shop tomorrow.

I was working on turning these scrap pieces into these....

I started them, but didn't get these finished.  I was also working on using these...

...the two smaller ones.

And here's a large frame I got for $1.00 at my local junk place.  I'm going to turn it into a message center with the little clips.  I also started working on the signs for my client, but I don't have anything to share yet.  Hopefully I'll have finished projects to share with you tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by.
