MIA

I really need to start posting more regularly!  Things have been way more chaotic than ususal.

Halloween is in full swing for me, I'm swimming in witch hats and mini ghosts.  Lots of things in the works!

I'm also finally going to run a full marathon, so I'm in training for that as well.  Very, very busy!

Currently trying to figure out:

How to make high quality decorative blocks from 2 x4's.  Not as easy as I thought.  I think my main issue is I haven't been sanding them correctly/enough. I may have to get a hold of a belt sander, that would be fantastic.  We did make one of the best purchases we've made in a while though, finally bit the bullet and got a router table.  So fun!  Also need to get some Matte Mod Podge, the glossy is a little cheap looking.  Will post some sneak pics once I get it nailed down.  Maybe I'll do a before and after.=)

Best way to make a stocking hanger.  Or, more accurately, a witch boot hanger.  We've almost got this one down, I think the actual hook just needs a little tweaking.  Here's a great post if you're interested in making stocking (or witch boot, you never know!) hangers:  http://themanyfacesofmom.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-stocking-hangers-ever-tutorial.html  (Thanks for the tutorial!)

Estate sale season is sneaking up on us.  One of my favorite times of year.  This is when we get to go hunting for Halloween props.  So fun!

Before & After's this weekend.  Happy Friday!
