Hello blog friends,


I have been doing more woodworking!! I have many friends and family that have been getting married this season, so instead of giving them the usual "frying pans or plates" I decided to make them a wooden wall hanging. I decided that it would be an unique and different gift. I asked my husband what the hanging should say and he said "What about wedded bliss?". The first time I heard it I knew it fit Shauna(my friend getting married) perfectly. When I gave Shauna the gift she was so happy!

Bear


Here up in Canada there is never a dull moment. Last month, I saw a bear in my backyard. I could not believe it!! It was a big black bear! I was out in the backyard playing with the kids, when I heard a rustle in the bush beside my house. I thought it was a deer, but to my surprise a black bear was staring at me. I yelled at my kids to get back into the house, we all ran inside. I told my husband, who was inside working. He ran outside with a camera and started snapping pictures. I was so scared I stayed inside. To my happiness the bear eventually wandered away. Here are some pictures that my Husband, Dawson, took of the bear. Hope you all enjoy these pictures!

Wooden wall hangings


Lately I have been working a lot with wood and wanted to display some of my products on my blog. I got this idea awhile ago when my mother had me construct her a wooden wall hanging for her living room that said "Home." After I did my mother's wall hanging I realized I could expand the sayings to just more than "Home" but a whole variety!! This isn't the best picture but I used keys, door knobs and part of a lock set to a door to embelish it. It was so much fun to make. I will be selling each hanging for $20, Look around and email me if interested!!!
