Craft Corner

I've been wanting to blog for a while now about Eric's handy creativity around the house...but just never got around to it, go figure! Anyway, my husband is quite handy with wood as many of you know, and has built some pretty fantastic things for our new house. There was a lot of talk about building our baby furniture, but we decided it was too much pressure and too much money for all the extra tools that would be required. But I wanted to share some pictures with you of some other things he has created....



Here is a beautiful wall hanging that he made for me after I found a similar one at the store that I liked, he knew he could do it better, and in fact he did!

He also decided he wante to build some bookshelves to place on either side of our fire place. They are currently in process...but here are some pictures of the bases which are done (minus finishing the tops) as well as the constructed book shelves. He's really done a great job, and I am so proud of his good work!

And finally, I was feeling somewhat motivated to do a craft for baby Ranger's room...that's right, I was feeling crafty...it's this motherly hormone I think. So, we bought a few canvases, and painted them cream, and next my friend Lisa promised to come over and help me paint them to mimic the pattern in Ranger's bedding. I am so excited and can't wait to finish and hang them so you all can see. Let's hope that I don't destroy them! I also painted some quilt hangers so that we can hang the quilt on the wall, since it doesn't really have any other purpose at this point. :)
