Damaged Heart Necklace

Damaged In the Storm

On July 21, 2008 a series of severe storms hit the Mid-West. My neighborhood was no exception. I woke up at 6:30Am to hail pelting my bedroom window. After all was said and done, almost all the trees were down, from the roots up. The trees that survived the storm were hit pretty hard too.

We were all devastated by the damage. My first thought was that I had to make something good, come out of the Bad. I took a fallen branch from our mighty Pin Oak and cut imperfect hearts from it and made it into this great necklace. I have included the pictures of both the fallen branch and the Damaged Heart necklace I made from it's branch.

Dragon Bar Top

Dragon Bar Top

With the almost completion of our Reck Room (The Dragon's Lair) my husband and I had to come up with a truely unique bar top. I have already shown you the bottom and cabinet, but here is the top.

The dragon was drawn out by me onto a large piece of paper, then the pattern was transfered to the wood for the mosiac. The mosiac was done with old tiles we had taking up space. I love this top.

Making a Few Changes

Hey all! It's been a while since my last post. I've been very busy trying to get my business plans together. I realized that I haven't posted the picture of the Dragon Bar Top yet. Watch for the next post. Thanks for being loyal readers.

Recycled Coat Rack

Recycled Coat Rack

Hey, hey I've got a great and easy project for you! This coat rack can be customized to fit your decor. My husband made it from recycled wood and some old fabric we had laying around. There was no real pattern that he followed, it was all in his head, (which is kind of scary).

The knobs are just something we had also, all in all I don't think this project cost more than a couple of dollars. It fits perfectly in my bathroom, I like to hang my bath robe on it, and wet towels.

Graduation Shadowbox

Graduation Shadowbox

After I graduated from college, my husband wanted to do something special for me. He made this shadowbox to display all my special stuff.

Believe it or not, this project is made from recycled materials. The box that you see here used to be an old abstract art work. It really was not my taste, however neat it was. After years of storage, it finally got a face lift. My husband painted the frame and arranged things just so. He also used my graduation gown for the background. I love it, it was the perfect graduation gift, and it barely cost a thing! Yay recycling...
