All That Is Good Is Wood

Well there's a feeling of great accomplishment
when you are able to create things
with your own hands.
Whether you are a rug hooker,
cross stitcher, quilter,
or any other handmade,
there is always a sense of pride when you have
finished a creation you made.


I am so proud of what Bob has accomplished,
that I wanted to show you all.
When we first met 15 years ago,
he started creating these signs.
We did the craft show circuit here in Michigan.
We sold online.
Then we sold at our first antique booth.
Our antique store became our next venue.


Now he is making signs again for our new store.
The HOP scrabble tiles I stenciled.
Bob cut the wood.


Bob created this bunny and carrot, while I painted them.


Bob cut the wood and framed these in tobacco sticks.
I stenciled the word home.


Bob's sign.


Another one.


This one I have always loved. 


This one is new.
Bob created these planter boxes.
He stenciled all 4 sides, added the wood ball feet.


Same design, but in blue.


This sign is more intricate.


Finally his white cabinet.

I know I have said this before....
Bob is very talented and I am so
 very proud of his accomplishments.

I know many of you who follow me
are very talented as well.

Please share your talent or accomplishments.
Would love to hear them!

In other news one of the reporters
for  the local newspaper
contacted Bob yesterday from his Facebook
post of our new store.
She did an interview with us last night.
We will be featured soon.
We are really getting excited now
for our grand opening!
2 weeks away

Good Wood Blessings To All!
Janice

  2. I love the very first sentence of your post today; as well as the whole paragraph! I agree with you whole heartedly. Your store is really taking shape. Love all the wood signs and creative thought. You and your husband work well together. The "Angels Gather Here" is my favorite.

    1. How nice that you also have a family member who can create out of wood. It is much more special when a family member makes something for you. Janice

  6. Although Jack's Grandfather was a cabinet maker and did a lot with wood, Jack's allergic to sawdust! Ha! So we don't create beauty but he's the best Chiropractor in the world...no brag, just fact...and I have a fabulous talent of admiring other's talents! I love your items here and I'm looking forward to more of the store!
