This is our new stove "splashboard". I told Miriam I was gonna do it, but it was kinda just me spouting silly options. But everytime I looked at that wall, I really could envision this piece of rustic log-cabin artwork!
So we went on a family outing into the woods to pull out dead trees and cut up firewood, and I gathered a board, and some good-sized sticks to make my project. Oh, and a couple pinecones that are beautiful...but all but 2 of them got smashed by a couple toddlers that I shouldn't name.....
I measured the stove, and cut the board to size. Then I snapped and sawed the pieces to be appropriate lengths, and put one nail through each one, to the board. I then hot-glued the pinecones on, and nailed it to the wall where I wanted it (Its SO heavy by the way!). I was so proud of myself for completing another successful project!
I told Grace the other day, I usually try things, they flop, and then I get discouraged from trying out my creative side. I am on a roll now, and I am starting to get a little over-ambitious I think (take a gander at my proposed Christmas presents for the boys, lol!)
