Something Different . . .


This box was inspired by my daughter who loves to quilt. I put Irises on the top and tried to make it look like a quilt. My sister says it looks American Indian, but I don't think so. Anyway for more photos of it go to my Etsy Shop where I posted it yesterday.

Kind of a Dutch Feeling Box . . .

This is my latest addition to my Etsy Shop. It is a box that I think has kind of a Dutch feel to it. My daughter has been too busy lately to come visit my blog, so if you are new here, I will be glad to hear your comments. I really enjoyed making this box and am happy with the way it turned out.

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.
