    A Brief History of American Barn Quilts

    A few days ago I was hand­ed a box of scrap wood. lit­er­al­ly. A small box full of left over pieces from a col­lab­o­ra­tion for the SCRAP WOOD MYSTERY BOX and was chal­lenged to see if I could come up with a way to make use of them. Imme­di­ate­ly a barn quilt came to mind, and I knew I would try to recre­ate the beau­ty and cul­ture behind this Amer­i­can coun­try sta­ple. It came from a sim­ple sug­ges­tion to think out­side of the box…pun intend­ed. I hope to encour­age you to do the same before you toss some­thing to the…

    Video:Nesting Box Interchangeable Signs

    Recent­ly, I came up with a design idea for a unique inter­change­able sign, which I named the “Nest­ing Box” peo­ple could cus­tomize and use in their homes. The con­cept of the Nest­ing box is quite sim­ple. It looks like a nor­mal table top sign but in fact it is much more. You get to chose your com­po­nents, and we ship them direct­ly to you! You will receive your sign unfin­ished and ready dec­o­rate. It’s that sim­ple, and the best part of the entire design? It can be changed out at any time.  For easy inter­change­abil­i­ty, we designed the back­ing using 1/8″…

    How to Make an Easy Patriotic Banner with Ribbon

    I am excit­ed to share with you just how easy and beau­ti­ful this patri­ot­ic door hang­er can be with just a lit­tle wood plank and ribbon!  For me, patri­ot­ic decor around the home­stead always seems to be lack­ing. Sum­mer hol­i­days always seem to sneak up on me and I find myself scram­bling around last minute to come up with a few good sum­mer­time decor ideas. This project start­ed with a pre-dis­tressed board from the Wal-Mart craft cen­ter and a pack of 6 lit­tle wood­en stars from the same isle. I’m sure the same sup­plies can be found at your local craft…

    Easy Ink Transfer Using Parchment Paper

    I have always want­ed to try my hand at trans­fer­ing images via wax or parch­ment paper. All I had on had was parch­ment so thats what I used and I am pleased with the result. Was is per­fect? No, but for the the look I want­ed per­fec­tion did­n’t nec­es­sar­i­ly mat­ter. I am not claim­ing this is THE best way to trans­fer images, I am sim­ply shar­ing what I did to achieve this look. I start­ed with a piece of parch­ment paper I cut just small­er than the size of a piece of card­stock and taped them together. Next, I print­ed this…

    DIY Farmhouse Riser from Baseball Nubs

    This project has been months in the mak­ing. In order for you to appre­ci­ate this project I have to share a lit­tle back story. A few months ago I was asked to present a project at a live craft­ing event host­ed by Brooke Riley from Re-fabbed. I knew I want­ed to teach the ladies to make a farm­house ris­er. Fast for­ward a cou­ple weeks and I was tour­ing the Louisville Slug­ger Muse­um and Fac­to­ry in Louisville, KY. At the end of our tour we were encour­aged to take home a “nub” as a sou­venir. These nubs were cut off the ends…

It was def­i­nite­ly one of those “ah-ha” moments in craft­ing. I just love it when a plan comes togeth­er.

I loved the idea of re pur­pos­ing the sticks but I want­ed to take it a step fur­ther by cre­at­ing some­thing to hang on the wall. I start­ed by assem­bling the paint sticks side…
