Fun, Quick Projects

Frog Double Point Needle ProtectorsLook what I made! Not the knitted Mohair cuff. Although, I did make that too. The cuff is from the book Lace Style that was gifted to me recently for my birthday. It is made to be worn underneath a sport coat for a little extra femininity and flair. I was about to bind off this cuff and start on the other one when I realized that I hadn’t shown you what I made recently. These frog double point needle protectors are fabulous and cute, too. They were so much fun to make and so easy too. What do you think?

New Lampstand

Published by DK under Tools, Woodworking

I needed a floor stand for my daylight lamp and decided that I did not want to drop $60+ on a metal one so, as usual, I looked around for something I could use to make one myself. This is what I came up with.

The log is from a cedar tree here on the property that we were cutting up for firewood. I figured how tall I needed it and Scott cut it to length for me. Then it was just a matter of sanding it down and putting on several coats of polyurethane to seal it. I drilled a hole for my lamp to fit in and viola! This was my first attempt at any creative woodworking outside of cutting molding pieces, etc. I think It turned out great and it works beautifully.
