Christmas Shipping Dates!

Christmas is fast approaching and it's that time of year when we all (most of us anyway) panic about getting our parcels and cards out on time.

Here is Canada Post's guide to make sure your Christmas packages reach their destination before the big day...

Please remember to keep these in mind if you are planning on placing a custom order.  Please allow for production time and shipping.  Thank you!

Catching up...

Well, today is supposed to be a Foodie Friday.  But lately I haven't been creating anything share worthy in the kitchen so there's sadly nothing to post at the moment.  

I did, however, just purchase this tasty looking recipe today and plan to try it out very soon.  Doesn't it look yummy?  I will share the results with you next week if all goes well.

Anyway, instead of sharing culinary adventures I thought I'd share some of the custom work I did before the holidays.  I couldn't show it to you when I created them, as they were gifts, but since they should all have been received and opened by now I think it's safe to share away.  

I have another one of these for my shop but I NEED to take better pictures of it first.

This was for a little girl whose mother love penguins and father is a HUGE Glasgow Celtic fan.  It was a very fun frame to make!

This was for a little girl who was moving to a new home and a new room.

This box was given to a gentleman, from his wife, who was just finishing up his studies with the church.

This was also part of the churchman's gift.  And it was my first attempt at using a scroll saw to cut a shape with the wood.

And a set of bookmarks to go with the box and pendant.

A lazy susan for an Italian Mother-in-law.

Another fun project.   A flowery pencil box.

The other two sides.

I sold several of these to one customer.

This set of four coasters have a wonderful rich stain on them.

This wasn't a custom order.  It was a prize from one of the trade shows I did before Christmas.

 I am always excited to work on custom orders.  And I will try just about anything!  Send me an email and lets get something unique started for someone special in your life! bki[@]hotmail.ca

Tuscan Lazy Susan

Last week I had a special request for a lazy susan with a tuscan design.  I enjoyed putting the design together and this is the final piece.

To see more custom orders I've done please take a look at the "my work" tab at the top of my blog.

I'm Back!!

Wow!  I didn't realize how long I'd been away from the blog!  I am very sorry to have disappeared!  I am going to try very hard to get to the blog a lot more regularly in the future.

One of the reasons I was MIA was because I was preparing for a 3 day craft show that happened at the end of October.  I worked very hard creating new pieces for the two months that led up to the show.  Here is a picture of my booth with my Mom and myself.  This was at the end of the show and we were pretty tired.

I will be adding more pictures to the "My Work" section.  And sharing some of the really fun custom orders I've been working on as well.  I am also hoping to have some regular content to share on here, things that interest me and hopefully you too. And I have a few very special upcoming events to share that you won't want to miss!

In the meantime, feel free to pop on over to my Facebook page where I do most of my updating: www.facebook.com/bkinspired
