Wood Crafts 2025

/ Sarah Collins / Leave a comment

Since there probably will not be any more painting done until 2026, I thought I would share some of my wood craft projects from the year.

I found this bamboo box at Hobby Lobby. I thought each striped needed its own color. I used the Sharpie Creative Color Marker to paint the outside, and Americana Craft Paint to paint the sides and inside. I am still deciding what to do with it.

2025 Puzzle – This originally was just a blank puzzle. I use black gesso to paint both pieces, the puzzle and the base. The I used paint markers to design the piece.

Another item painted with Sharpie Creative Markers

This was my first attempt at creating my own diamond art piece. Just an experiment to learn how to create one.

Oh, Christmas Tree

/ Sarah Collins

On Thanksgiving, I asked my husband if he had any preferences for when I put up the Christmas tree. He said “No.”

On Black Friday, late in the afternoon, a brought the Christmas tree and the tree skirt up from the basement. My husband told me “You are suppose to do that while I am at work.” I think he just wanted me to cook supper and watch TV with him.

This is how my tree looked on Friday.

On Saturday, I added decorations.

My husband told me “You can put up the tree. It looks like you really want to.” I told him “No, I will put it up on Tuesday when I bake cookies.”

Sunday, I added lights to the tree.

Husband shakes head.

Monday, I put an angel on top of the tree.

Husband roll eyes.

I did get a letter from Santa.

Tuesday, I took the tree out of the box.

Husband comes home at lunch and asks what I did with the nicely decorated tree box.

Husband gets a look from me.

Here’s the decorated tree. Can a tree have too many ornaments?

I have come to realize, if I just left the tree in the box, I wont have to wrap presents because all the Amazon boxes would have match the tree.
