Hi everyone! It’s time for another work in progress post about my wood diy countdown to Christmas! This time, I will be talking about something I worked on before I sanded the wood filler. That was strengthening the sides of the roof.

Wood DIY Countdown to Christmas- Sanding The Filled In Parts
Hi everyone! In my previous post about my wood diy countdown to Christmas, I mentioned that I decided to fill the areas where there are gaps and the parts of the roof that broke. After taking the photos used in the post, I sanded. And sanded. And sanded some more. That was when I decided to take photographs of what the house looked like before I moved onto working on other areas.

Wood DIY Countdown to Christmas- Making the Roof Break Disappear
Hi everyone! In my previous post about my wood countdown to Christmas decoration, I talked about how the roof of the house was broken. I was able to glue the broken pieces back onto the house, but the broken sections could still be seen. I also knew it would be visible even when painted. In order to make these broken areas blend into the rest of the roof, I decided to use a wood filler on the broken areas.

Wood DIY Countdown to Christmas Decor- The Broken Roof & Future Plans
Hi everyone! Three years ago, I decided to purchase DIY wood Christmas decor and paint it with the colors I want them to have. At that point in time I wanted certain holiday decorations that were available as DIY wood decor, but not in a pre-painted version. One of the DIY decor I purchased was a wood Christmas countdown decoration. Over the years I worked on it and, as of the writing of this post, it is still not finished. Still, I enjoy thinking about it and working on it every now and then. Since I enjoy working on it, I wanted to write posts about how I turned it…

Christmas Tree Farm Wood DIY Sign- The Finished Sign
Hi everyone! Well, it’s almost Christmas and I’ve been pretty busy. Even though I’ve been busy, I was able to finish the sign! As of this publishing of this post, it is currently hanging up in my house as part of my Christmas decor. Since it is in use, I decided to take a photograph of the sign hanging on the wall.

Rain Drops on Poinsettias Photographs
Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I went shopping at Walmart. There was a rain storm in the area, so everything was wet and damp. I wanted to go to the gardening center to see if they had some plant products I needed. I didn’t find the products, but I did find a lot of poinsettias that has rain drops on them. They looked very pretty, so I decided to take photos of the leaves. I never like to post photographs I take of flowers of at Walmart or other areas, but I want to change that. Since these photographs were taken on my cell phone (An iPhone) the coloring may…

Christmas Tree Farm Wood DIY Sign- Ruff Background Paint and Second Thoughts About Color Schemes
Hi everyone! I made some progress painting the Christmas Tree Farm sign. After my second thoughts staining the edge of the sign, I decided to proceed forward in painting the sign. I wanted the stain to be a red tone and the background of the sign dark green. From there, I would paint the sign’s wording and other decorations on it. Since the stain was more purple berry colored than red, I didn’t know if the green background would clash with the stain color. Even though I was worried, I decided to proceed forward in painting the background.

Wood DIY Star Ornaments and The Success and Struggles to Paint Them Gold Like Dior Charms
Hi everyone! Last year, I decided to buy unfinished wood star ornaments. I had an idea to make them look like star charms that come with purchases made from the luxury fashion house Dior. I saw people online hand their star charms on their Christmas trees, which I liked a lot. Stars are a favorite shape and design, so having a tree full of them caught my eye. The only problem is the people online seem to shop at Dior far more than I do because they had many stars to hang on their tree! In order to have star charms to hang on my tree, but not go into…

Christmas Tree Farm Wood DIY Sign- Staining the Edge & Second Thoughts On the Stain Color
Hi everyone! Last year, I purchased a DIY Christmas Tree Farm wood sign from Michael’s Crafts. At that time, signs advertising Christmas trees meant something special to me. (And no, it doesn’t have to do with Taylor Swift’s song!) I saw the sign multiple times when I would shop at Michael’s. I really liked it more than other finished signs, so I decided to purchase it and decorate it myself. Even though I started working on it last year, I finished it this year. I wanted to talk in blog posts about the process I went through to decorate the sign and the thoughts I had a long the way!

2023 Knitting Bucket List: Christmas Edition
Hi everyone! Halloween is less than a week away, but for knitters, it is never to early to plan ahead for Christmas knitting projects. For many years, I had ideas for Christmas themed knitting projects. Some of them I have a pattern and yarn but never made it. Others are just ideas I want to make but haven’t started the planning process on. I never talked about these knitting projects online (At least to my recollection) but I want to start talking about them! For this post, I want to talk about all the Christmas themed knitting projects I want to work on this year. I know I won’t get…
