New wood signs just in time for Valentine's Day - Netties Expressions

The month of January was a blur of a lot of unexpected happenings...which means that I was not in my woodworking shop making signs for the upcoming holidays and seasons.

I did manage to work in the shop for the first time last Saturday. I had an extra helper for two hours which made a world of a difference.

I'm pleased to say that I now have a bunch of Valentine's Day signs just in time for Valentine's Day.

How to make a wooden fox - Netties Expressions

Today I'm going to share with you how I made a wooden fox.

My niece turned 8 this last weekend. I phoned her and our conversation went a little like this...

"What would you like for your birthday? I haven't gone shopping yet."

"Okay...and what size were you thinking?"

Shopping Online - Netties Expressions

Okay, so this is a little introduction to Online Shopping. I know that there is nothing like actually being in the retail location...seeing the products in real...touching them...seeing the quality of the item and the sizing...but it has to work out for you to do retail shopping. You have to have the time or take the time...maybe you have a child or two or three with you and it's just overwhelming to think of dropping by...what if they break something or touch something...this is where Online Shopping comes in.
