253.) New Handmade Shelf

#253. I finally got a shelf!
Thanks for making it Cody :o)

218.) Handmade Book

#218. I made this little book with recycled paper and two photos.
I created the cover in photoshop using a scan of the
TN map we picked up, and added text.

It's going to be my mini-scrapbook.
I'm still working on the inside pages.

179.) Handcrafted Frames by Cody

#179. These will soon be for sale once we get glass and backings.......

the quality of square frames around town were quite unsatisfactory!
These are AWESOME though :)

159.) All Done!

#159. New table, new chairs, new paint.......feels like home.

Closer look at the chairs

*I would like a different rug in there, but we'll work with what
we've got for right now....

155.) New Dining Room Table

#155. Crafted by Cody, from nothing but scraps, and discarded cherry slats found at the dump. I love when things cost $0.00!! This is a photo of the table after Cody put sealer on.

147.) After the Transformation

#147. I love having a dining room table that I can actually sit at.......The chairs cost us $3.00 each.....and the fabric was $5.00......any way you add it up......THAT'S CHEAP!!!!

144.) Pending Re Upholstery

#144. When we bought the 'new' couch, we lucked out in getting a set of four chairs to go with the table that Cody made (a while back). They were only $3.00 each!!!!
