The week before my surgery he wanted to take me out , a surprise he said. We went to the Swinging bridge restaurant in Paint Bank .On the way back we stopped at a pull off to look around. I just happened to be taking a picture of this beautiful tree and totally overlooked him standing there. When I went back and looked at it I loved seeing him standing there like that. I was going to crop him out lol so I'd have the picture of the tree but no way, I love it !
Well this was a easy DIY project ! I had surgery last week at Wake Forest and today my husband wanted me to come outside because he had a surprise for me. The weeks leading up to my surgery we had been clearly our land of some trees. I had told my husband that I wanted to make some log benches for our outdoor soirees, but with my surgery I kinda put it on the back burner. Today when he wanted me to come outside he told me that he had made me something. I was greatly surprised, he had made me a log bench !! It was so simple, he took a log about 4 foot long and cut it long ways down the middle.For the legs he cut two stumps the same height and notched the tops in a "rounded" V so the log bench would sit right down in there. The bench top was screwed in & when I heal up i will be putting a coat of polyurethane on it . In total this project cost us $0 ! (Pay no attention to the log in front of the bench he is working on another project lol)
Please note our cute baby fainting goat modeling on the bench lol
I needed some curtains but as always I couldn't spend a fortune, so I got crafty ! I bought two black twin sized flat sheets. I cut a slit in each end of the sheet that has the wide fold ... ( I don't know if that made sense lol ) but I did take a picture so you could see ! I cut a slit just big enough to put the rod through. After cutting the slit just slide in the curtain rod , hang and you're done ! These are great if you need curtains for a wide window , it's way cheaper then buying curtains. Two twin size sheets cover a window up to 132 inches wide , they are 96 inches long. If they are a little long just hang them higher, it will make the room look bigger or just let them pool up on the floor ! In total this DIY project cost me $12 ( 5 for the two sheets and 2 for the rods ) Good luck :)
Well recently my teenage son (who does blacksmithing ) made some hand forged hooks . I went to my scrap lumber pile and found a old board & cut it to the size I wanted. I screwed on the hooks and made a beautiful rustic looking coat rack. I will be posting some of the coat racks on etsy ( 2Kraftychics is the shop ) I also found some scrap lumber and made some other coat racks. I painted them with some paint I had on hand. You could easily make these with old knobs or hooks.They are a easy DIY project that is also budget friendly !
