A Good Cook Beats All

I have such fond memories of my mother's cooking as a child.  She was such a wonderful cook, and made great memories in the kitchen cooking.  This is for my mother!


Cooking



First I started with making the frame.



I have a tutorial HERE on how I made the frame.

Next, I created my chalkboard.



I have a tutorial HERE on how I like to do chalkboards.





I hope my mom  enjoys this post!

Wedding Sign


I often end up making things for weddings, so I decided to make something unique.

Mr. & Mrs.


What you will need:
Chalkboard
Pattern
Stylus
Transfer paper
Chalkboard marker / chalk
Fence boards






I didn't get any pictures when I was doing the design on the chalkboard, but HERE is a tutorial on how I create my chalkboards


Then I cut some old fence boards to the size, so cut them to whatever will fit your project.



Next, you will want to fasten the pieces of wood together.  I was going to glue mine together, but my handy husband suggested something a bit more sturdy.  He used his pocket hole jig to screw the boards together.




I added a little paint to the boards, because I like the look.



Lastly, I glued the chalkboard to the boards!



It turned out to be a fun project!

Jewelry Hanger


My daughter loves to where jewelry, but her necklaces were tangled up in a drawer in an organizer on her dresser. I decided to  maker her a jewelry hanger to help her keep her necklaces untangled.  She loves it!

Jewelry


First, I took an ordinary cabinet door, drilled holes where I wanted the pegs and glued them in.  I also glued a wood embellishment in the middle.



Next, I painted the cabinet door a silvery/gray color.  I like a contrasting color under the top color.


Then, I painted it one of my favorite paint colors: Herloom White.  I painted a couple coats.



Next, I sanded it a bit to antique it.


Here is a picture of it before my daughter hung some of her jewelry on it.


My daughter was so excited to put here jewelry on it!
