And we are in the process of applying to adopt a rescue puppy - very exciting as well!! And of course, because it would be boring otherwise, I am doing some more shows to sell my things....and planning an event in Vancouver...and prepping to get some of my things into a local store...and trying to sell our car...and planning a birthday party sleepover complete with custom made Hobbit swords as giveaways!

Made by my amazing husband for our son's 11th Birthday party! Each guest gets their own sword with a personalized insignia Luke is designing for each friend...crafty much?
So, yup a lot going on in the Roberts household! But anyone who knows me realizes I wouldn't have it any other way! It is a very busy time but it's all positive and I feel fortunate for how many things we have going on right now that are so great.
On top of all the usual, and unusual, stuff going on around here I completed a project some friends hired me to do for them. To build a custom shoe cabinet to go at their front door. It had to be narrow to fit in there and be able to hold as many shoes as possible...and have a nice top surface to hold keys etc at the front entry.
I used an old door for the side panels and frame....and found two windows that were almost the right size.
The window/door frame in pieces
putting it back together after cutting to size...and sanding it down
They now fit perfectly as "doors" for the cabinet
The top is an old reclaimed piece of wood that was just the perfect size....love when that happens!
The client wanted tin ceiling inserts in the door and the whole thing to be painted black to match some of their existing cabinetry. I sourced the tin from a local salvage shop.
Here is the final result! It looks great in their front hall and is really functional too...which is what every designer hopes to achieve. They are really happy with it also...and that is why I love making pieces like this.
