I Love Woodworking

Last week I gave you the 1st installment

of the driftwood furniture I use to build.

Today I bring you

** CHAIRS **

This favorite is named *TERRY*

Each piece I made was also named. The names

come from all sorts of places, ppl who inspired me,

shapes in the finished work, even the recipients.

** LEAN ** ** SMILE **

** PATRICIA ** ** JEAN ** ** KISSING **

** 88 ** ** ART **

** MR & MRS CLAUS **

Here you can see the varying size differences in some of them.

** MONSTER ** ** FABULOUS**

Both of these chairs are enormous.

** BASKET WEAVE ** DARREN **

Darren was a custom order, a Christmas gift for his wife.

** ADIRONDACK ** ** INDOOR **

** FATHER **

** SABER TOOTH ** ** PEACOCK **

Both lower to the ground, great for relaxing under the grapevine.

** HOBBIT **

Another favorite of mine,

Getting Ready to Sell my Goods at a Fair

My halloween sign display for the fair

Tomorrow, I am doing my first vendor fair. Meaning, I will be lugging several furniture pieces, as well as, some smaller signs, mirrors etc. across town to sell. I have never sold my goods at a fair booth so I am excited and curious to see how it goes. And, a bit nervous. Will my items sell? Will I be able to use my PayPal credit card reader for the first time? Will my booth look pretty?
At this particular fair, vendors usually are selling smaller and more crafty items, but the market is good. So we shall see!! Good news is, I am dragging along a helper, Tamara, my best friend from college, and a large bag of hershey kisses so, at the very least I will have fun.

Here is a picture I snapped of one of my Halloween signs displayed on my shelves.

This is a small table I will have for sale. Isnt the pedestal base beautiful?

And here is a sneak peak at a three drawer dresser I am finishing up to take along. I will be doing a tutorial for this piece coming up.
I will let you all know how it goes and I will also share with everyone anything I learn. Anyone else sell at a fair before? Let me know if you have any good tips.

Find beauty in your day!

HOMESENSE HOW I ADORE THEE my new birdcage and painted mirror

Diposting oleh mutama di 05.42 0 komentar Label: adore, and, birdcage, homesense, how, i, mirror, my, new, painted, thee, Woodworking

Last visit to Homesense happened to be a quick

stop while we were on a peaceful drive to get away

from the hustle and bustle of life and work. As both

George and I work at home a great deal in the

evenings sometimes we just take off for a quiet

drive and enjoy an ice cappuchino from Tim Hortons.

Recently I had mentioned out loud wanting a bird

cage. I had really wanted one for a long time but

never mentioned it. With my retail job Ive been all

over the Fraser Valley as well as different locations

through out the country and really just never see them.

Well during this last stop at Homesense we meandered around

the store together close to closing time, George would pop

in and out of the isles showing me things he saw.

Then just as we rounding the final lap to the finish

line he popped into the isle again this time with a

beautiful white birdcage in hand.

I gasped and immediately said

"I WANT IT!"

Then common sense took over and I asked

"HOW MUCH?"

Turned out to be $40, come on!

Well I still wanted it.

While this whole thought process was going on

George popped in with another bird house of a

different color and style. Now I was even more

excited at options. Be careful what you wish for.

Before the whole thing was done we musta found

close to a dozen different styles, sizes and colors.

And different prices.

Including this pretty pretty turquoise one and it was only $15*** SOLD ***

Another find that evening was this great

*FLYING THE WORLD*

mini suitcase.

We also got our large oval clock that youve seen in the past

and a few book boxes at Homesense.

Before I go I want to share with you some encouragement I received from

AMY from MAISON DECOR

She painted her beautiful mirror frame pink and

encouraged me when I told her I didnt quite have

the nerve to do mine.

Well I was finally able to find a bit of time Mothers

day morning and went for it. Happy Mothers day to me.

Mines blue, its bold, its finished, and its brilliant.

Did you notice it also matches the bird cage?

Muahahahahah!

A tutorial of this mirror can be found here.

SIMPLY FOLD IT UP black folding pine table

This table top has the neat ability to fold vertically.

The center of the base pivots to hold the top up or to let it fold down.

This would be great for a small space such as an apartment or loft space,

and when it is folded it is easy for one person to lift and move.

I was also thinking it may help prevent that re occurring issue of the kitchen table being

the catch all place for everything in the house but I know not many of us have that problem,

RIGHT?

Here is the table before,

and here is the nasty, beaten up top, with peeling clear coat and deep grooves

to catch all sorts of food stuff in.

And yes there was plenty I chiseled out.

For this guy I actually painted the entire table black but only kept it solid on the base.

See above all the blackened scars in the surface.

I achieved this by hand sanding the black paint down exposing all the filled in ruts

and smoothing out the soft pine.

I then filled the grooves to prevent dirt build up in them before

rubbing 3 coats of wax into the wood.

It really is so gorgeous now and super smooth.
