I came across an old video my little brother made with my Grandma way back in 1989. He had an old VHS recorder, wrote a script, and my Grandma played along. She was the best!
In this video she is hosting the Home Fixit Show. DIY all the way!!!
I hope you enjoy this video. It was a joy having her for a Grandma!
I made a new sign for my step son and daughter in law. I had made one a while back and it was pretty fragile so this one is much more sturdy. I used pine for the names and tongue and groove pine glued to ⅛ inch plywood for the backer. I stained the tongue and groove pine an ebony color and painted the names white.
I was commissioned to make an intarsia of a friend’s great dane named Theo. I do just that in this video! I used a Judy Gale Roberts pattern and modified it to match Theo. He is a black and gray great dane. I used walnut and blue pine for the coat, ebony for the nose and part of the eye, mahogany for the iris of the eye, holly for the catch light, and a mystery red colored wood for the collar.

A friend asked me to make a Pacific Northwest sign so I thought it would be really cool to see if I could make it with the CNC machine.
The designing program is similar to other programs I’ve used so that part was easier. Making the tool path and setting up the machine was more difficult but Husband helped me out with that.
In this video I make the sign! I think it turned out great and I am really enjoying the CNC machine. I didn’t think I would but now that I have my first project under my belt I see the potential for more fun things and I am looking forward to it!
Psalm 37:11 (ESV) But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.

I found a coloring book picture of the empty tomb so I added the verse found in Luke 24:6 that says “He is not here, but has risen.” A bunch of versions have this in different wording but they all say the same thing, He Has Risen!!!
On the back I put the verse Isaiah 53:5 which says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.” Which tells us that Jesus died for us and because he died we now have the opportunity to live. And we celebrate Easter because after 3 days he rose again, conquering death, and giving us the gift to rise again too. It’s the gift that is too wonderful for words.
May God bless you and keep you and make his face to shine upon you. 🙂
Luke 24:6 (esv) He is not here, but has risen.
John 1:29 (esv)The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Isaiah 53:5 (esv) But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
I have a friend who paints barn quilts. I had never heard of them before but found a whole bunch when searching Pinterest! I thought it would be fun to make one someday!
Lo and behold, my neighbor gave me a bucket of small triangles that he had gotten from another neighbor. I thought they may work well in making that barn quilt that’s been brewing in my mind!
I used 4 different stain colors, stained them up and glued them together. I learned to make sure all the pieces are the same size before starting. Mine weren’t and I had to sand and re-stain along the way. But I think it looks pretty cool.
Galatians 2:20 (esv) I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
PS I noticed there is a lull in the music at the end. That was a boo boo. So sorry 🙂

Some friends asked if I would make an antler chandelier out of a bunch of antlers that they had. I watched some videos to figure out what to do. Then went looking for a chandelier that I could use as the bones of the project. (I accidentally called the metal framework a chandler and kept up with that throughout the video.) So in this video I make the antler chandelier!

This is a free Judy Gale Roberts pattern. It can be downloaded from her website at intarsia.com. I used Aspen, Redwood, spalted juniper, walnut, camphor burl, padauk, and some others that are a mystery since I don’t know what type of wood they are. This project was commissioned by a friend’s sister for my friend, so it was really challenging to keep it a secret. This was a Christmas present but the video is a few months after because the delivery of the package was delayed due to covid. And I didn’t want to spoil the surprise!
