Ok, this is one of the last spring projects…I think. We will see…but anyways, our bedroom closet has always been an issue since we moved in. We don’t have a walk-in closet, so for the two of us, the closet is very small. Kurt actually keeps all of his clothes in the spare room beside…

Junk Drawer Hobbies
Kurt has been kicking around the idea of a little hobby shop for a few years. He’s a bit of a collector of things, so having a little shop that he can find new homes for his things and enjoy the selling and trading of items has been something of a future plan. Well a…
Shifting Gears
Well, I have really been slacking on writing, but have been oh-so-busy with so many other things. As you know, we now have a puppy again, which definitely causes a major delay in getting anything done. The first few weeks was just focussing on her and getting her settled into a routine at the house….
Pretty Picture Mask
Back in February we re-did a wall in our basement bedroom. It was old panel board that had been painted a dull green. We ended up replacing it with drywall, which was an adventure for us because neither of us had ever even helped someone else drywall before, so it was a lot of YouTube…

Huxhukw

Before I share the final details of my carving, I thought I would share the history and story of the Huxhukw bird. The Huxhukw bird is part of a dance ceremony of the Hamatsa Society of the…
Painting Faces & Making Hair
I have been working on a mask carving with my dad for around 5 years now. It certainly didn’t need to take that long, but we have just been working on bits of it here and there, so it has been a bit drawn out. We are, however, finally reaching the final steps in the…
Then & Now – Random Projects
Over the years we have done some updates to the house. Some out of necessity, but most out of desire to make changes. We were lucky that the house itself had been renovated and was very modern looking inside, so there was no pressing updates that we needed to work on. That let us focus…
