Crafting from the Past...



Lighted Christmas Presents (made from glass blocks, wired ribbon, floral accents, small strand of white lights and alot of John's hard work to drill the holes so I could put the lights inside...

Beading Projects










@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

John and I created this coat rack that we use in our foyer...

Here is a project that John and I also did together...it's my grandmother's antique pie safe that we converted into a liquor cabinet with storage for my cookbooks.  John built new shelves for it and we both painted the inside yellow.

I'm including the bed that John made in with my craft projects.  I only helped a little bit...with the decorative design elements...but other than that, he did it all and I just stayed out of his way!

Mosaic Table



I painted the larger tiles and John made the table (which I painted yellow).  I added some store bought tiles, some tile pieces and then grouted it with white grout.  We use the table on the patio as a place to set drinks and snacks when we play darts.

A Beaded Christmas!

The first year I learned to bead (2008) I made almost all of my Christmas presents!
