I am a believer in Jesus Christ, a homeschooling mother of three, and an amateur woodcarver.

Parenting and other responsibilities have taken the place of woodworking lately, but I carved out time to make this baby mobile! It took forever and was the hardest paint job yet, but I’m happy with the end result. Thank you, Emilee, for being my consultant throughout this project!

I have been working on two baby mobiles for some friends each expecting their first baby. They took weeks and were incredibly labor intensive but I was so pleased with the results. Then I forgot to get final photos!
Here are the mobiles right before I strung them together. I added small branch slices with live edges to the woodland mobile. The center of the woodland mobile was the three leaves strung smallest to largest.
The center of the fishing mobile was the lure with the hooks suspended beneath.

Every summer I want to carve more but get pulled outside to the care of the garden and children.
But I did make time to carve these four cereal spoons for a friend. They all came from the same piece of tigerwood and I love how they each have their own personalities! My favorite is the second from the right, how about you?

I went to finish a woodworking project but my workbench currently looks like an eye spy book.

Can you find:
- Luke’s flosser
- Johannah’s bracelet
- My reading glasses (been looking for them!)
- Anastasia’s water bead container
- Trevor’s measuring tape
- My almost finished woodworking project

The vast variety of wood types and colors never ceases to amaze me and it was a joy getting to know the personality and grain of each of these species as I carved this collection.
Each spoon came from a different type of tree: some were short and stocky trees, some were massive and majestic. Some withstood harsh icy winters while others endured a blazing tropical sun.
All waved branches in praise of their Creator and now a small piece of each is collected into a bouquet on my counter: a testament to the infinite creativity of the Lord.

If you would like your own bouquet, I’d love to take on your project! You choose how many spoons you would like and what species. Each spoon is $20.

Top row left to right: Cherry, Redheart, Yellowheart, Pau Brasil, Maple, Hawaiian (not sure exact name), Walnut, Lacewood

Bottom row: Canary, Tigerwood, Rosewood, Olive, Tigerstripe Maple

I somehow deleted these photos, my greatest apologies.
Whether you would like to celebrate the coming Year of the Dragon or are looking for a unique Valentine’s Day gift, here are a few one of a kind, hand carved gifts!!

Creation sings of a new year and the Chinese will soon be celebrating the arrival of the Year of the Dragon on February 10th! My family is planning making dumplings and enjoying the challenge of eating with chopsticks. Join the celebration of the Chinese New Year!

Considering the new year, I love the prayer in The Valley of Vision called Year’s End, “Thy goodness will be with me in the year ahead; I hoist sail and draw up anchor, with thee as the blessed Pilot of my future as of my past.” I hope that you take a moment to consider Him whose goodness never changes year after year, and whose power will bring forth each season of 2024.

Christmas remembers that Jesus came to save the least and the lost, God in human flesh, the long awaited Savior who continues to gather sinners to himself 2000 years later. We have much to celebrate, so let the festivities begin!

Utensil Highlight – Rose Stirring Spoon: I have a beautiful silver teaspoon from my grandmother and love it so much that I styled this stirring spoon after it. It took me several days to carve with the tiny details, but I think the result speaks for itself. I’m excited to learn more about carving roses, perhaps after Christmas.
