It is actually feeling like fall here in Texas. We are out of the triple digits, cooler nights and overall, much more tolerable weather. I am getting outside more and it feels great.
September 11 - What a life changing day. Last year I started a service project with my MOMS Club to give back on September 11 to those who serve our community. We chose to bake goodies and write thank you notes to Police officers, firefighters, soldiers, etc. All those people who give to our community and may not always feel that they are truly appreciated. The MOMS Club continued it this year and here is a photo of Colton outside our local Texas National Guard Armory after we delivered lots of goodies with a friend of mine. Her little girl was cropped out of the pic, (cutest little girl too) because I completely forgot to ask permission to post the pic with her in it.
September 12 - I love how perfect nature is. This tendril from my cucumber plant had me in awe.
September 13 - Coltons preschool does devotions in the morning and they usually start it off with a fun song for the kids to sing and dance to. Colton loves to run up there, then just stands there. Today he just looked "too cool for school" while rocking his sunglasses.
September 14 - This is a pic of Coltons first painting brought home from school. He told me he made a, "Scary Grrrrr monster," out of circles.
September 15 - After quite a bit of rainfall, I had some very delicate mushrooms pop up in my garden. I picked one to examine it and then placed it on the edge of my raised garden bed. The contrast of the delicate mushroom and pattern created in the wood end grain was just beautiful to me.
September 16 - I bought some new paintbrushes for the kids to use. They are AWESOME! They are watercolor brushes, but in the handle, it holds the water. No more kids knocking over the water cup. They just need to squeeze the handle a little and the water comes out by drops. Love these. I even have a set. Here is a link to the set I bought the kids.
September 17 - While driving around with Colton today, I have noticed that the hawks have discovered its fall. I am seeing many more hawks in the area. I really hope that my leucistic hawk makes a comeback, but until then, I will keep admiring all the others in the area.

I have some plywood lying around and I was going to build a bird house because I like wild life and wood works so, Anyway, I hear some types of wood are toxic and shouldnt be used for bird houses, is plywood nomally toxic?
Answer
1) i have been building bird houses for 50 years and if the plywood has been laying around foe a while its ok to use,,,they build houses out of plywood,they build furniture out of plywood,they build lots of things out of plywood if it was dangerous they wouldnt use it,,, havent had any dead birds in any of my houses,and they are used alot
2) Nah. Any wood that would be toxic are most likely those treated with creosote(green or brown) mainly used on posts bottom halves so they dont rot as fast in the ground.Cedar shakes if fresh might be toxic because its natural oils in the woods keep moths out of chests thus saving wool from being moth eaten. Other than that, plywood is OK, chipboard(not much good after a couple of rains), particleboard(not much good after a couple of rains), rangerboard(not much good after a couple of rains)-ranger also has formaldehyde in its makeup so not healthy to work with(for you). I believe it has been pulled from the market because of the formaldehyde. Rangerboard is just compressed cardboard. Plywood is the best bet for longevity. Leave it unpainted on the inside. And mount it on the north side of a tree(so it gets some shade) otherwise it is same as an oven....you will have a couple of "friers" in there. Dont make too air tight, or too small. because the bird will still build a round nest in there. Also have a front door and a back door(escape route should a predator bird be at the front door) and a "heat release" slot near the roof line. These birds are there for the spring summer. No winter heating required.
Also build a few of them. Birds are not solitary. They like company. That is why they fly around in "herds". Growing bright colorful flowers in the garden nearby attracts bugs which feed the birds. And make sure you have a bird bath someplace. Even it it is just an old garbage can lid upside down with a bit of water in it from the sprinkler. Plywood is the easiest to work with. Try avoiding using any other glue (if you do use glue during construction) than white carpenters glue. The others have chemicals in them. But if the bird house is big enough and airy enough, noxicity should not be a problem.Then again you could just leave them alone to pick out a tree or a bush where they would build their nest as they have since the dinosaurs.

How much do these colours make you think of spring?! They are making me so very happy, and Im even happier with this finished, ice cream coloured, crochet tissue box cover. Tissue boxes are a bit of a catch-22 arent they, you need em around in the winter but they really arent pretty to look at (unless youre happy to spend more on a fancier box, which Im not…). So after a few months of eyeing the ugly tissue box on my beautifully painted white and yellow bedside table, it struck me that I could crochet a reusable cover for it!
I cant remember if I checked ravelry or pinterest first but you can find this free pattern by The Royal Sisters blog on both, heres the link. It was super quick to make, easy enough for a beginner and hardly used any wool. I decided to leave off the scalloped edge as it seemed to fit the tissue box nicely without it and I wanted the pastel colours to do all the talking. I also purposely decided to do the opening and first two rounds of treble crochet in white to camouflage the tissue a bit.
Wool - Robin double knit in white, yellow, spearmint and peach. Special by Stylecraft double knit in silver.
Im now wondering what else I can hide with some ice cream coloured crochet… our wi-fi box, next doors satellite dish perhaps? What would you cover in crochet?

These two bargain bedside tables (thanks, ebay) were in desperate need of a revamp to fit our bedroom decor, so over Easter weekend (and then some) I brightened them up with a lick of white and yellow homemade chalk paint (find the recipe below).
I say, over Easter weekend... you know those projects that take so much longer than you expect. Yeah, this was one of those. Despite starting them over Easter it took another two weekends before I had finished them!
But it was all worth it as Im really happy with the result. To get the chalk paint effect I mixed 1/2 cup of Plaster of Paris with 1/4 cup of water and mixed then added this to 1 & 1/2 cups of paint. I guessed the paint quantity, as didnt want to ruin my measuring jug! Just add more plaster or more water if the consistency is wrong, it should be on the thicker side of paint, but not so much that its difficult to paint with.
The paint used is dulux matt in white chiffon and lemon tropics. We had the white left over from painting the walls and I just brought two tester pots of the yellow.
Although the chalk paint recipe meant no sanding or priming which was great, it still took four coats to cover the dark wood. I might experiment with a different recipe next time as I know some should only require one coat, and Ive already got two more projects in mind!
Its also the first time Ive waxed painted furniture, but as these will get a lot of use I decided it was definitely worth the extra effort. I used rustoleum painted furniture wax, but would only recommend using this on pale colours. I read a few reviews before purchasing and it seems to leave white streaks on darker colous - I think stains might be better when sealing darker paint. Luckily there are no streaks here.
I love the finished look and its so nice not to have everything on the floor next to the bed, no more half falling out when trying to snooze my alarm in the mornings!

Interior Designer Kara Angotti weaves video blogging into her daily design practice
Photo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXEReADq5Os&feature=related Recently Kara Angotti of KO Angotti, a woman-owned interior design and energy audit firm located in Philadelphia, ventured out of the city to visit my wood shop, Superior Woodcraft in Bucks County, PA. To share the information with her design community Kara wrote a blog post and created a YouTube video. Now it’s not every day that I have an interior designer/energy auditor/blogger come for a visit; so this had me thinking about how Kara’s social media work is completely integrated into her interior design and energy audit business. I sought to learn more about the ways in which Kara balances her actual work with her social media marketing endeavors, and heres what I learned: PK: Kara, why did you start to create social media for your business? KO: Social media marketing is a low monetary cost high impact way to reach an interested audience,which is very useful when you’re not exactly a Fortune 500 company. Do you have specialized training in this area? No, I have no specialized training, but we leverage experienced consultants for effective marketing techniques. Social media marketing is still fairly underdeveloped and is rapidly evolving; therefore it’s difficult as a business owner to maintain focus on your core service while remaining current with the latest social media marketing methods. I suggest finding a young eager marketing professional to help guide you. I like what you said about underdeveloped and rapidly evolving. To me this means you can experiment and see what works. You don’t have to spend a lot of time worrying about making mistakes. Everyone is learning about what works in social media. Is it difficult to create a blog and videos? It’s fairly easy to get started with a blog thanks to the many available platforms (Wordpress, Blogger, etc.) and templates that exist. Videos are a bit more challenging since they require filming equipment and editing software. I recommend beginning with a blog and establishing it as the focal point of your online social media marketing campaign. Become comfortable blogging and expand from that point. How has it helped your actual interior design and energy audit business? Social media marketing has given us a promotional outlet that in years passed could have only been achieved through large scale and costly advertising campaigns. It’s also provided a branding opportunity, showcase for our designs, and platform to communicate developments in the auditing industry. What benefits could a small woodworking shop gain from creating a virtual community or social media content? Few media outlets offer a woodworker the opportunity to broadly display their craft. A blog would give your clients the chance to observe your progress and review your portfolio. What small piece of advice do you have for a woodworker who is thinking about creating a blog or shooting videos? I recommend beginning with a blog because of the low cost of entry. Bear in mind that consistency and the quality of your content is imperative to maintain a successful and respected blow. Thanks to all of our readers for dropping in on the conversation between CustomMade.com member Patrick Kennedy of Superior Woodcraft, Inc. and Kara Angotti of KO Angotti.

Three weeks in and all major decoration work to our bedroom is finished! And while it definitely needs a bit of dressing (eg. curtains and some accents in a contrasting colour) I just couldnt wait to show you our Farrow and Ball* feature wall.
Having worked in several historic houses Ive always loved Farrow and Ball paints, the first time I came across them was seeing the gorgeous Ballroom Blue in the Bath Assembly Rooms - quite an introduction. So its a bit of a dream come true having a drop of Farrow and Ball in my own home! I knew I was after a mint/duck egg colour for a feature wall in our bedroom and found this in Teresas Green No. 236. Choosing simply from the colour chart and online pictures was a bit of a worry but its exactly the colour I was hoping for. It was really nice to paint with too, quick drying and has a nice chalky finish (we used estate emulsion).
So heres the before...
and after!
This is the only room in the house where I can picture the finished look - I had it decided after just our first viewing! As you can see weve painted the other walls a brighter off-white (they were cream previously) and painted the woodwork in brilliant white. You cant see it in the pictures but weve also put down new cream carpet, so all in all it is brighter and feels much more like our home now!
Right, Im off to go and stare at my new wall. And buy some curtains.
*post in collaboration with Farrow and Ball.

The marquetry adorning the top of this 18th century table is beautiful, but after over 200 years, its colors have faded significantly.

A dizzying array of mechanics make this table an engineering marvel.

The drawer beneath the silk-covered writing surface features no pull. Instead, the user must depress a hidden lever beneath it.

Need more storage? A full length drawer opens out from the right side. Of course, it features a beautiful mortised lock set.

Nowadays, any enterprising woodworker with a bit of engineering know-how can easily purchase any number of manufactured gears, cams, and ratcheting mechanisms for use in extraordinary pieces of furniture. But back in the 18th century, when this exquisite table was built by a French craftsman, there certainly werent any Woodcraft, Rockler, or McMaster retail stores from which to purchase these sorts of mechanical items, and thats what makes this little table such a marvel of engineering.
Jean-Francois Aubin had privacy in mind when he built this small table for a female French aristocrat. Its chock-full of incredible mechanics thatll make your head spin.
With the turn of a key, the top and writing surface extend in opposing directions, revealing a silk-covered writing surface as well as two hidden wells for the storage of writing paper and other supplies. A small drawer centered beneath the writing surface has no pull with which to open it. Instead, the user depresses a small lever hidden beneath. For even more storage, Aubin incorporated a full length side drawer with a mortised lock set.
Marquetry Worn by Time Interestingly, the colors of the marquetry on this particular table are rather muted--a result of the ravages of time. In much the same way that were not accustomed to seeing the original colors adorning the old ruins of Rome, the artists rendering of what this tables beautifully-adorned top would have looked like some 250 yeears ago is simply stunning.
More on marquetry: be sure to catch our audio slideshow on the construction of a reproduction masterpiece.
Secrets Unfold The J. Paul Getty Museums animation of the inner secrets of this little table is stunning as well, and well worth watching. Its sure to inspire just about anyone who has ever built anything at all!

Posted: 3:17 am on June 25th Muscleguy writes: That looks like a clockwork motor doing the work of moving the top and writing surface, activated by the key. You can see the ratchet winding set on the front. Nice and a good use of then available tech. Probably more robust than our modern tendency to use electric motors as well.
