I’ve been working on what I’m donating to our library silent auction. This doesn’t really show up well, It’s just a pine tree shape cut from a green hardback book. It does look cute on my counter though! I covered this box with wrapping paper and filled it with items to make a Christmas Eve…

Beeswax and Cotton
Before I know it, our library fundraiser will sneak up on me… and so I’m trying to work on my silent auction donations. Today’s craft was a mixture of new and old. Have you ever read books where to waterproof or protect an item, they wrapped it in waxed cloth? Or think about waxed paper……
Magnet Play
Playing… I’ve seen a lot of Harry Potter wood burned gifts… but, Harry isn’t my style. Since I’m rewatching, and enjoying Star Trek Enterprise, I thought I’d make myself a set of Star Trek magnets! I wanted to put this on one… from the title theme… But I think I need a bigger magnet!
Order Up!
I’m thrilled to say I *finally* finished my custom order for burned spoons! Just on the off chance that a recipient who will be getting one of these might read my blog… I’m not showing their names that are burned into the handle, nor the reverse little icon, either. I just finished the hawk tonight,…
Witchy
And her name is… RAVEN! I hope to give her a mascot at some point! She flies in the wind, by the way… and on Halloween I plan on putting some green glow in the dark sticks under her hat! oooooooooooooo…..
Witch
She needs to dry… and then some paint… but she’s done!
Witch Win?
After fighting wind, blowing leaves, and an unstable little witch… I moved my witch building project into my garage. She’s not finished. Oh, no… there’s going to be much more to her before I let her fly! She is on duty to dry up her act while I work at the library the next few days!…
Witch Fail
She started off as just a few pieces of trash… I was trying to get just her body shape correct… My sister had bought me a great witch’s broom from Ace Hardware… and I found an old shovel handle to take its place while I experimented. This looked pretty wonky at this point! I made…
New Jack
I had a little fun today. This pile of spray foam was made when we had our shop insulated. To clean their gun, the people emptied the last bit into a pile… and I snagged it, knowing someday I would get creative with it. A few minutes later… He needed something… Though he reminds me…
Paper Folded Pumpkin
I made this for the Harvest Dinner raffle. It was my first try, and not a very good one… but I now have the process figured out if I ever want to try it again. It’s amazing what detail some people can accomplish in their book folding! I’m happy enough with my funny little jack-o-lantern!
Play
For fun, I woodburned some vintage Girl Scout badges…
Crafting Ideas
This week will be filled with cow work, but before it all starts, I’m trying to get a few things started to donate to the library’s Harvest Dinner Auction. It’s not until October 13, but that just means it’ll be here before I know it… I’m looking into putting some of my photos onto unique…
