Your posts always end up with me adding projects to my to-do lists!

I'm definitely making that yardstick coat rack and the napkin rings (those would make great hostess or housewarming gifts.)

Thank you! I have a 16 year old looking for summer stuff. This is perfect.

Ooh, that silkscreen project looks like so much fun. Thanks for sharing this list!

I spent last night working on a Martha Stewart design. A friend of mine is getting married, and found a MS pattern for paper flowers. Tedious as anything, but very cute results.
