I'll soon come back to read more posts. This one is so far my favourite. The sausage sign is amazing and so are the pine-cone fire starters. Here it's already dark now, but tomorrow I'll go to pick some cones. :)<br />Wishing you a very happy weekend!Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-77412502814579451912016-10-11T07:28:26.907-07:002016-10-11T07:28:26.907-07:00Thanks, it was fun to make, too :)Thanks, it was fun to make, too :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-38594307406010637712016-10-11T07:28:01.308-07:002016-10-11T07:28:01.308-07:00Good Morning Teresa, Thank you for the sweet comp...Good Morning Teresa, Thank you for the sweet compliment on my sign :) <br />You are not the first one that I have heard that had lost their blog list.<br />I wonder what's going on with that?

I'm feeling much better and hope that you will be better soon, too. My sign is made of plywood scraps. When we did the inside of the Art Barn, I wanted it walled in plywood so that I could paint it and be able to put a nail any place that I wanted. I hate putting nails in sheet rock. Therefore; we had a lot of plywood scraps left over . . . great for signs :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-39098303948486104312016-10-07T17:52:32.204-07:002016-10-07T17:52:32.204-07:00Here's wishing you some cold crisp weather . ....Here's wishing you some cold crisp weather . . .

Have been working for the last two weeks (outside of my home) and then got sick on the last day! so now recovering and probably won't feel up to par for a week or so (flu I guess).. and then heading to the Oregon coast to see my son.. then home on the 20th, and then "maybe" will feel like doing something around the house. It's messy and dusty and needs alot of TLC! I don't do much for Fall anyway.. just a pretty tablecloth maybe and a centerpiece (if we can manage to clear off our table(desk) of all our junk. The hooked rug is darling.. my girlfriend made some years ago, for her dad who was in the construction business. One was of a big yellow backhoe! Beautiful job she did too. What alot of work! I would love a tutorial on the pinecones... but they sure look pretty just sitting around in a basket or something. I would think maybe using bees wax would be easier on the chimney.. just a thought. And your sign... really neat. I assume it IS made from wood. Was hard to tell. I still "dream" of having a spot to do some woodworking, but right now our garage is full of boxes and tubs from our move a year ago. Sigh... I do so love wood signs. Handmade from the heart is so much better than storebought. Hope you feel better soon.

I've started pinning little smokehouses on Pinterest so he will have some inspiration. I am excited that he will have hobbies and interests other than TV, when he retires.

I have found in the past that they end up fixing themselves over time. It's that "Time" that is annoying. I've been there before, too. I'm one of those people that tap my toe waiting on the microwave . . . that is not a good thing, and I'm working on it daily :) I'm delighted that you like my sign making. I'll get out soon and gather some pine cones, then I can start working on a fire starter tutorial.
