Nova Scotia RCMP Map
If you look back to our second last post on making custom maps, you will see the six maps we made for the Royal Canadian Moutned Police (RCMP). We have done three more of the larger ones since that post and now we have another one to build but this one will be a bit different so I thought I would show you.

Gnome House From A Tree Stump
Last year in the fall I believe, Jim cut down a large pine tree on our lawn which we had planted 20 years ago. The top was split and I wasn’t sad to see it go because it was forever dropping pine cones which would zing me in the leg while mowing not to mention the pine needles all over the flower bed. So good riddance I say.

Christmas In August?? Making Wooden Candles
No definitely not. In fact I don’t even like Christmas in December if you must know. What I do like is making things. All kinds of things. Even Christmas ornaments in August.
I had some free time while Jim was busy in the workshop so I decided to make some wooden candles for the tree.

Layered Flag of Nova Scotia
We’ve had the idea for this project pinned to our whiteboard for some time. With the skid steer in the shop, everything in the yard has come to a standstill. Literally. So we figured now would be a good time to work on this layered flag of Nova Scotia.

DIY Door Hanger
If a project calls for wood and paint, I’m in. Could do it all day every day. I call this a door hanger but it can also hang on the wall and will from time to time.

Horse Stall Sign
Are you a horse person? Cows and horses kinda freak me out. I think it is their size and the fact that I’m not around them much. Sheep too. And some dogs. Hmmm I starting to see a pattern.

Painting a Wooden Buoy
One of Jims saw milling buddies makes wooden buoys and on a visit last year he brought one for me. Not long after, I decided it needed some paint, so out came the paint brushes and here it was after my first round of painting.

Roadside House Numbers Sign
We were contacted by a customer wanting a sign with her house numbers. Not just a square sign but a round wood slice with the bark still intact. This is what we started with.

DIY Monogramed Placemats
Over the holidays we had pretty Christmas placemats on the table and once they were put away the table looked a little bare. So the only practical thing to do was to make some. Now, I have never made placemats, but that never stopped me before. I have made table runners from drop cloths (CanadianTire.ca Bennett Canvas Drop Sheets #049-4818-8) so same steps apply, just a different size. I only have a few pieces of drop cloth left over from when I made drapes with painted stripes, and did a quick measurement to make sure there was enough. Eureka!
Looks like enough
