We got some much needed rain over the weekend, so we worked on some inside projects!

On Friday, we headed to Lowe’s to plan out a new “Getting Crafty…” project.  We debated using these…

…but decided against them. The Hubs didn’t think they went along with the rustic look we are going for with this particular piece. Here’s The Hubs concentrating on the task at hand…

I tried to help with the actual construction this time…however, I failed miserably!  I’m sad to say that I am not good with power tools.  I’ll leave that to The Hubs…

I did this on Saturday…

I have all of The Kid’s school pictures in one 8×10 frame.  I love getting his new photo each year, because I get to lay out all his other ones and see how much he has grown!  It’s hard to believe he’s in high school!

Here’s our “Getting Crafty…” project at the end of Saturday…

I really like how it turned out!  We still need to sand, stain and attach the hardware.  I think we may actually sell this piece in our Etsy shop…stay tuned for that!  Once we got to this point, we set it aside to work on a Christmas present for one of The Hubs’ sisters. She requested a storage bench for the foot of their bed.  It’s coming along…here it is last night standing on its side next to the bigger chest…

We had to put it up for the night so I could park my vehicle in the garage.  A big storm was headed our way and I didn’t want my Flex sitting out in the elements.

I can’t wait to finish both of these projects!  This is the first time we’ve made a custom piece for someone else and we’re really excited about how it looks so far!

It was a pretty boring weekend, but we got a lot accomplished!
