Special Feature: My Husband's Cutting Board

I love my husband!! He is amazing & so wonderful, & as of lately has spoiled me with his woodworking talents! Recently he finished a beautiful new cutting board for me since my old one had split. I used it to cut apples for the kids, & today we used it to cut some veggies for our homemade chili. I am so in love with it!!!

Isn't it just amazing??! Lately we've been just woodworking & crafting our nights away. Hope my small group of followers enjoy taking a peek at our creations, & hope it inspires you to make your own. 

When Life Hands You Lemons...

Make a lemonade stand!!! So about a week ago, my husband told me to pick a project so I could learn how to start woodworking. I came across a lemonade stand on pinterest & told him that was what I wanted to make. Every night, he taught me how, & I did everything myself from hand sawing the wood to hammering. It's the first thing I've ever accomplished when it comes to making something with wood, & I completely love how it turned out. I also combined my talents, sewing a pennant banner & hand painting the sign. The pictures don't do it justice, & the banner I absolutely love, but I'll take some better pictures soon, It is far from perfect, but I made it so my kids would have something to play with outside, & maybe this summer we can actually sell some lemonade!

I made the lemonade stand for all my kids, but my daughter Jenaye is just so in love with it! 

After taking some pictures (with Hannah sleeping & Jaeger at school) we were inspired to make some hand-squeezed lemonade. Mmmmmm!! Nothing like lemonade for a sweet taste of summer! Now if summer would just hurry up! lol

Two Special Features

So today, instead of it being about what I've created, I've decided to share what my husband, & my best friend have made. My husband really enjoys woodworking & has created some pretty amazing pieces. His latest, a pizza peel, made from beautiful oak purchased at Superior Hardwoods. He worked really hard on this the last two days, & tonight we are making a homemade pizza to try it out. Pretty darn cool!

My crafty best friend Amber, who just recently opened up her own photography business Shutterbug Photoplay {Visit Site Here}, went out of her way to make me this ADORABLE heart mobile!! Something I've been wanting to make, but she has the cutest selection of hearts & did such a beautiful job putting this together for me!!
