New Projects

Of course I've been working on new projects, it's addicting I tell you!  Once I realized I could just make the stuff I want instead of just wishing I could afford it, the ideas are endless.  For my birthday Matt bought me a band saw.  It's a great tool for making small cuts and can add lots of detail to my projects.  I had to search the internet to find out all the cool stuff it's good for and found out about "bandsaw boxes" Little boxes (like a jewelry box) that are easily made with the bandsaw.  I immediately went out to the garage and made one, it was easy and only took a few minutes.  Alivia wanted it pink though, so I found some old pink paint, watered it down and painted her new jewelry box.




The other project, a little bit bigger, is our new outdoor seating.  I bought some chairs a few years ago that I love, but we need more seating, so I decided to make a matching sofa.  It still needs to be stained to match but I'll save that for another day.
