B is for Build Page

Im definitely not one to brag but I am super proud of all that Ive built for this little blog and I wanted to draw some attention my BUILD PAGE.  My buildy blogger friend Jen Woodhouse (House of Wood) and I were recently chatting about our past work and all the pieces weve built up until now and she thought "surely you must have well over 100".

So I counted.

140 different pieces on the build page.  I owe a huge nod to Ana White who designed a majority of the plans.  Simply click on the thumbnail image and the post should pop up.  All of the build posts include links to the plans or plans within the post.

Some of my favorites:

There are builds of all kinds: tables, beds, small gifts, consoles, planters, storage, and on and on.

Simply click the build page tab and you can scroll through all the thumbnail images.

Thank you to all my readers who consistently show support and interest, you keep me building!

Wood lovers this one's for you.  Today I'm sharing a quirky little fabric banner: I (heart) fresh cut wood.  Because I know there are definitely some of you readers out there who love fresh cut wood just as much as me.  It smells like heaven! 

I recently had the opportunity to try the new custom fabric offered at Zazzle.  The options are endless when it comes to customizing, you truly can make just about any design but I choose a lettered print.
