Here's the reason that I've been a little quiet around here of late.
I'm super excited to let you know that I'm doing a 2nd printing of my book, A Very Special Christmas Story.
I've been pinning rustic wood fireplaces trying to find inspiration for my next "faux fireplace". I wanted or actually needed to build one for my basement rec room.
Eeeek!
You heard me correctly.
And yes, it's just a children's book.
I was scrolling through some old posts and realized that last year sometime I hinted at sharing details with you on building a faux fireplace...and...I still haven't done this. This is a long time coming as I built my second faux fireplace at the end of 2016.
It's a little hard to work in the shop during tax season since there's only 24 hours in a day...and most of those hours are spent in the office. I have been trying to spend my dinner and supper breaks in there in hopes that I can slowly get some stuff done.
It definitely takes longer, but slowly and surely some things are happening.
Today I want to walk you through the process of making a very simple journal from scratch. I didn’t get pictures of all the steps, so I’ll try and keep it basic.
