Sweet Amish Boy & Girl...

Here is the cutest little Amish boy & girl, my DH finished a few months ago... I think they turned out adorable :):):)

Adorable Donkey/Mule Intarsia....

Here are some pic's of my DH's latest project, while in progress.  It turned out so cute!  It even has adorable eyelashes :)

Hugs,

Cutest little Hoot & Nanny...

My DH made this one for my mom.  He surprised her with it at Christmas. She has a small farm, she loves critters and has owed goats in the past, needless to say she loved her intarsia.  She has a pretty good son-in-law if you ask me ;) 

Hugs,

Personalized Scroll Sawed Wooden Key Chains...

These are made of some super plywood for durability... There really awesome!

Hugs,

Lovely Palm Tree Intarsia...

As you all may know, I have a hard time keeping up with my own blog and then I try to blog my husbands woodworking as well. He's just so good at it and I want the world to see his wonderful handcrafted items. I love his work :):):)

So here's a special request from his mom, she wanted some palm trees.

So what do you think? Pretty cool huh?  I got the pleasure of helping with this one since it required a bit of paint :)

His mother loved it!!!

My Messy Closet Under the Stairs....

Is now an organized mess, thanks to my mans crafty hands. He often watched me struggle loading and unloading the closet, trying to locate just the right paper, ribbon, rubber stamps, etc. 

Then one day a couple weeks ago he said what if we get more plastic containers for all that paper and make another sturdy paper holder.  It's similar to the 1st one he made me, but without the fancy finish (you can see the 1st on here http://mymanscraftyhands.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-custom-deluxe-12x12-paper-storage_18.html.

So here's some before and after pic's of the "messy closet under the stairs" and my new paper shelf w/ two little handy drawers at the top....  

This is the closet before, with most of the paper is already out.

Here's some of the homeless paper, we're trying to organize.

Here's the awesome shelf my husband made to hold all my paper :):):)

  

Here's everything back in.
He even extended the closets existing shelf & added an additional florescent light to the shelf.

Now all the paper containers are labeled and much, much easier to get to.

This is my boy Randall, he's trying to figure out how he can use our new and improved closet ;)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend!

Wow... DH Is On A Roll!

Here's my mans latest creation, it's a beautiful cat intarsia, made especial for me :):):)  It turned out so awesome, he used 5 different types of wood to create this beauty.  I've named him "Starling"!
  

DIY Scroll Saw Stand...

Here's a great little project my husband came up with for his scroll saw.  He's wanted a stand for it for a while now, but didn't want to pay $100.00 for one. So, he pulled together some of his scrap wood & here's what he came up with.

The Great Wine Rack....

A friend of my husbands had seen the paper storage cabinet while it was in progress.  He instantly associated it with a wine rack and asked my husband if he could construct the wine rack that he had invisioned.... My DH is always up for a challenge and agreed as long as he didn't have to stain it... lol!  Told you he's not known for his finish work :):):)
The wine rack holds 90 bottles of wine and my husbands friend was thrilled with it.

Here it is... Made to order.

 

Here's a picture my DH's friend sent of it in it's new home (all full of wine).

My Custom DELUXE 12x12 Paper Storage (part 3)... FINISHED!!!

Here it is and it turned out AWESOME!
I LOVE My Custom DELUXE 12x12 Paper Storage and all the extra drawers!!!!

Thank you babe, ♥ you ~ xoxoxo

Please Note:  Nothing is as orange as it appears in the pic's.   It was the wrong time of the day for pictures, hence the poor lighting.  It's truly a very beautiful color, in person.

My Custom DELUXE 12x12 Paper Storage (part 2)... The Progress!!!

 OK... I'm very excited!  We're close to having my awesome new cabinet, that DH built, in place.  My husband did a great job and everything is going to fit just perfect.  Since my DH is not known for staining his creations, that's where I come in handy.  I've stained it dark to match everything else in my studio.  Below are some pictures of the progress and I'll post a pic's of it in place and all filled up, once it dries.

Above pic's are the sanding process...
Below the staining process.

My Custom DELUXE 12x12 Paper Storage (part 1)... My DH Is Multitasking!!!

(Back)

(Front)

He's still working on G-Ma's B-day quilt.  He's completed the top of the quilt (it's gorgeous and now needs to assemble, quilt and bind it.  

He's also started another project (for me).  He's building a heavy duty storage for my 12x12 paper.  We had initially purchased a rolli-cart that was supposed to store it, but soon found it to be too weak and very unattractive.  So he's come up with a great design, that will hold more paper and be much stronger. There will also be second side that will accommodate the drawers of a smaller rolli-cart, so that everything matches and creates more counter-top/work space at the same time.  Another beauty to this is I can finish it in any stain and with any design my little heart desires.  Here's a peak of my man's crafty work... It's not finished yet, he's in the garage working his magic now :):):)  I'll post completed pictures at a later date, once it's all finished.

Have an excellent day and ♥"NEVER FORGET"♥

My Mans Queen Size Challenge....

My DH had his first request for a queen size quilt. It proved to be quite a challenge, but worth all the effort since it was so well received. His mother just loved it!!!
