Two More Boxes added to Etsy Shop



I just posted these two boxes on Etsy. I am trying to get good photos of the boxes, but it isn't easy. I am taking a class next week in Digital Photography and hopefully I will learn some ways to take better pictures. I put these photos on my blog to keep my daughter and friends informed. But my daughter is so busy raising two small children (with a third on the way) that she doesn't get much time to go on the computer and visit my blog. So, I hope whoever reads this will comment and let me know what you think.

A Small Blue Box with Violets . . .


I've done so many hexagon boxes lately that I thought I'd better do some conventional shaped ones. This small blue box is my newest addition to my Etsy Shop. It is lined with a lovely powder blue panne velvet and the violets are outlined with an antique gold paint. I have never done a box like this, so I will see if it sells or not. My wife likes it, but then again she likes everything I do.

Another small addition to my Etsy Shop:


Here is a little hexagon box I just posted to my Etsy Shop. The overall color is violet with a nice pink rose in the middle of the lid. I lined it with violet panne to match the exterior.

I Just Added These Boxes to My Etsy Shop




Here are photos of boxes that I just finished up and posted in my Etsy Shop. They are small hexagon boxes about 6" wide. I lined them with panne velvet and I think they came out fairly nice. I had alot of fun making these boxes and I hope that they sell soon.

Now I Have an Etsy Shop You Can Visit!!!!


I haven't posted anything on my Blog in a couple months because I have been busy making decorative boxes. I set some of them up at a small craft show where my wife works and did fairly well selling them. I also put some on display in their gift area and sold some more after the show. I made two like the one pictured above and sold one of them. The other one is for sale in my new Etsy Shop, which I call Bob's Boxes. Here is a link to the shop:
I hope you can visit Bob's Boxes. I have only got about six boxes on display at present, but I hope to add a couple more by the end of the week.Instead of posting pictures of them here, I will post them in my shop for sale. So, take a look at my shop and tell me what you think.

This one is for my daughter to see . . .

To Pumpkin Patch Quilter: You asked me to post a picture of my most current project. Here it is. The pieces are unfinished as that is the way the customer ordered them. She plans to paint them black, and said she will send me pictures when she has them done. I know I have been kind of lax in posting stuff on my blog, but if you visit the site from time to time I will be sure to post projects I am working on. Your comments are always greatly appreciated.

Back in the Saddle Again . . .


I haven't made much the last few months. I was kind of uncertain what to make. I decided I didn't want to make boxes, and kept hoping something new would pop up. About a week ago I made two chairs like these pictured above. They sold after being out by the road for only 5 hours. So, I decided to make a couple more. They are not an original design as I found the patterns in a woodworking book, but I did give them a weathered look which I kind of like. I am doing a small show in August and thought I'd take a few and see if they sell.
