In August we had the three oldest grandkids for a week. Nadine, Noah, and Ella. The youngest, Nev, didn’t come for the week because she’s just too little yet, but she did come for the family barbecue at the end of the week and did stay with us for a bit.
This video is all about the adventures we had during the time with the kids. It is mostly for husband and I to treasure the memories, but if you want to watch you are more than welcome. 😊
We did a bunch of stuff! We explored, painted rocks, driftwood, and saws. We tie dyed shirts, painted the clubhouse door, went to the reservoir, put hand prints on the pump house. Spent some time at the park and ended the week with a family picnic.
This is a yearly event so we look forward to next August!!!

In this video I make a barn intarsia from a pattern by Judy Gale Roberts. I used purple heart, walnut, spalted maple, camphor burl, fir, banksia pod, oak, and blue pine.
A link to the pattern can be found below.
Links to items I used while working on the project are also below. Some are affiliate links which give me a kick back if someone orders something.
Since my Woodtek sander is no longer available I have included two links to some other pneumatic drum sanders that people have been really happy with.
Proverbs 3:9-10 (NCV)
Honor the Lord with your wealth and the firstfruits from all your crops. 10 Then your barns will be full, and your wine barrels will overflow with new wine.
I’ve been wanting to make a chocolate intarsia for quite a while now. I actually tried it a few years ago but didn’t have the right materials, but now I have silicone to make a mold! So in this video I attempt to make a chocolate rose intarsia. The pattern is by Kathy wise and there’s a link down below if you want to order her book that has the pattern in it. I also have links to the silicone that I used, the acrylic spray I used, and my favorite chocolate recipe. I didn’t perfect the technique in this video so I want to try it again, but it did look cool and it was yummy!
(these are affiliate links which means I get a few cents if you click and buy!!!….except the chocolate recipe ) 🙂

I’ve wanted to build a path from the house to the shop and I want to make it like the path to the beach we always went on in Newport. So I thought making some steps up to the clubhouse would be great practice. In this video I dig the steps (and believe me it was quite the chore!). And since it is a tad boring to watch me dig I decided to do a little shop update and chit chat some too.
I ruined my band saw tires so I needed to replace them, something I had never done before. This video shows how easy it is to do! I was surprised!!!
That’s the short story and the gist of the video.
The long story is I ended up taking the wheels off to do it. I watched a helpful video and contacted fellow YouTuber Ed from Unemployed Redneck Hillbilly Creations. He emailed me right back and was very helpful. Here are some links to his channel and his video that helped me.
Husband is building a clubhouse for the grandkids and he asked me to make the cupola that goes on top. He gave me the directions and I waded through them and got it done. I made a few mishaps along the way and discovered I really need to brush up on my math skills….but Husband’s math brains came to the rescue. Once the clubhouse is all done I will post a clubhouse build video.
I have heard about and have seen acrylic pour paintings. I have to paint a door and husband gave me the Liberty to paint it however I want so I thought it’d be really cool to paint it with an acrylic pour. So since I’ve never done it before, I thought I should practice. I ended up practicing a lot so I decided to make a four-part video series on my pouring practices. This is video number one.
Acrylic Pour Experiment #2
This is my second video in the series where I am trying out acrylic pouring. In this video I try making a feather. It turned out sorta of feather like. If you want to see an awesome feather check out this video, wow!!! Smart Art Material
Acrylic Pour Experiment #3
This is the third video in the series where I try am trying acrylic pours. In this video, I pour a resin layer over the top of the finished acrylic painting. I need some practice on that too, but I am learning a lot and having fun with it.

Acrylic Pour Experiment #4
This is the fourth and final video in the acrylic pouring experiments video series. In this video I am using TotalBoat acrylic resin for the entire pour. This seems to be totally different than pouring with acrylic paints so I felt like I was starting over. Colored resin is so pretty and retains that prettiness even after it is dry. So I hope I can figure this out and make some cool looking stuff!!! For now, I am still a novice, but an excited one!
