jelly cupboard reveal
I always enjoy getting ready for a show, so I have a reason to work on a lot of furniture! I finished the jelly cupboard this week and I finally get to reveal it… This is how the jelly cupboard started… It’s an old piece…most likely mid-to-late 1800’s. I always love working on old pieces […]

Good evening, ladies! I have been a little under the weather with a cold since my Toronto trip, so I’ve spent two whole days in bed, if you can believe that! I watched a lot of Netflix and did some computer work, but I was generally useless. I think the need for two days in […]
painted tote
Kriste and I were working on pieces for the Chapel Market last week and I blurted out, “I’m in the mood to paint!” I bet you think I’m always in the mood to paint, but I’ve gotten busier as my business has grown and become more diversified and I have left more things unpainted. When I buy […]

barn board to breadboard
I wanted to make a bunch of breadboards to sell at the Chapel Market, so I’ve been on the hunt for cool old boards for that purpose. I found a couple of beautiful old boards that came from a barn. They were about 8′ each in length and about a foot wide and they had lots […]

Good evening, all! I’m finally back from Toronto and seem to be in more of a routine, since I actually remembered FFF this week AND picked favorites! I know…high five! I did get a scolding from a reader a few weeks ago for forgetting about it, but if she walked into my studio, she would […]
