So thrilled with how this piece turned out. This style crate was custom built to fit this exact space. Getting it into the front door was a bit of a challenge but well worth it to see it nestled into its new home.

This crate was made for two adorable black labs complete with a unique locking corner divider. The base was paint matched to the clients kitchen cabinets and the top and flooring are a rich black to compliment both her homes door hardware and those adorable black labs. Custom cubbies were created for all of those doggie accessories.

This single unit perfectly replaced two metal crates adding both style and functionality! What do you guys think?

Trained dogs were able to sniff out Covid-19 infections with 94% accuracy: study

Now this is a test I’d volunteer for. Dogs are amazing.

Researchers in Germany found that dogs can sniff out Covid-19 infections using saliva samples after being trained for one week. The hope is that this method could be one day be used in public areas such as airports, sporting events and other mass gatherings, along with laboratory testing, to help pr...

I have to take a second and brag on my husband today. Look at these awesome quick projects he completed this week. It’s no secret i’m obsessed with reclaimed everything. I love his ideas on incorporating both organization and design in one! What do y’all think?

I used to think the dog hair was a problem. Corona determined that was a lie. The cups, socks and toys, those ARE the real problem. 🤣

Today’s #buildathome project is brought to you from my neighbors trash 😱. This former patio cooler was rescued more than a year ago but I never prioritized fixing it. No time like the present.
.
.
I am avoiding the lumber yard which is super hard btw. So I needed to use what I had on hand, which happened to be some cedar scraps.
.
.
I gave this piece a good sanding, built a new cedar top and finished it with some white dry brushing.
.
.
Now it’s the perfect strawberry planter. The inside was already lined in metal and conveniently offered a drain hole.

A family that builds together, stays together. Today’s #buildathome project was partially sponsored by our future sanity.

Great opportunity for some basic #lifeskill lessons. #ryobipowertools for the win.

Garden update: we lost our internet today. That’s what we get for moving to the country. So since zero work, school or distraction could be had we moved school outside. Manual labor for the win. If you haven’t thanked a farmer lately, plant a garden for perspective.

Perspective is everything. That’s my mantra everyday all day. While this season is difficult, challenging and sometimes painful it’s also beautiful.
.
Juggling school and full time remote work brings multitasking to an entirely new level, but it also provides pockets of unexpected joy. Like that five minutes of extra cuddles between meetings, the extra notes, texts, or pictures. The sleeping in instead of the morning rush, the family dinner around the table every night.
.
I need these reminders as much as anyone else and sometimes we need to take our own advice. Tonight I’m choosing to remember what a blessing it is to spend extra time with my favorite people, safe and healthy in our home. May we all come out of this with a new set of priorities, that we don’t soon forget these little blessings in the midst of the storm. #familytime #perspectiveiseverything #littleblessings #familydinner #cuddle #puppylove #labradorretriever #labradorsofinstagram #workfromhome #multitaskingmom

Today’s project has been on my list for three years 🤦‍♀️ With the state of the world these days I had plenty of time AND who doesn’t want their own germ free grocery store out back.

Note to self: a rototiller will kick your 🍑

Installing a fence on a hill and still making it look straight is really hard when you are OCD.

Quality garden soil takes a lot of work, that will continue to be a work in progress.

For my green thumb friends, what is your best gardening advice? I want to have a completely organic garden and plan to use pest repelling plants and flowers. What are your favorites?

Girls that build unite! 🛠 I am SO thrilled to meet and talk to other women who geek out over woodworking like me! Y’all HAVE got to check this chick out! She makes the most incredible scroll wood signs by hand! They are truly a work of art! #communityovercompetition #girlswhobuild

Today all the feels, all the love, all the wants, and a bit of guilt at the same time. 3 years ago, when I started this journey, I remember hitting this girl up with a million woodworking questions! She blew my mind with all her knowledge. What she didn’t know is that she also gave me the confidence that I could make something of myself in this business. For 3 years we have communicated back and fourth via phone and messaging with only about 45 mins of distance between us, but today we finally met in person. Today I finally got to meet up with the one and only Ginny Bins. A self-taught craftsman just like myself. We got to meet up doing what we love the most at @thewoodworkingshows. We may have been two of the FEW ladies there, but we enjoyed every minute of it. We learned so much, we saw so much, we talked ALOT , and I could not have picked a better person to share this first experience with than her! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this #makercommunity is the best. The advice and tips I’ve learned along the way from her and many others is just amazing. I try and return the favor in every way I can because I remember that initial start to this journey. It was overwhelming, well it still is at times, but having people like her in it makes it all so dang worth it! I look forward to more workshops with you @ginnybins1 and learning all the things we possibly can!
.
Finally added that @microjig gripper to my shop since I seem to use my table saw more these days than my mitre saw.
.
While the guilt I had was from missing both my boys 🏀 games, I knew I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. So I’ll make it up to them tomorrow! 😍

Please Share! This is completely unacceptable!!! Let’s prevent these criminals from harming anymore animals!

***URGENT: YOUR HELP NEEDED!***

Dear Woofie’s Community,

We need your help! It has recently come to our attention that a new puppy store named “Woofy’s” is opening up in the Chantilly Crossing Shopping Center. We were first alerted to the existence of this business due to its strikingly similarity to our federally registered “Woofie’s” name. We were horrified to discover that they intended to operate a pet store where they sell puppies, offer financing plans and promote a 3 day return policy. These are living, breathing, defenseless animals – they are not pieces of furniture! We sent a cease and desist letter alleging trademark infringement addressed to the store and to the property management company, but our letter has thus far been ignored.

Upon further investigation, we discovered that a man associated with “Woofy’s” was arrested 6 months ago and charged with 3 counts of ANIMAL CRUELTY. This man, who claims to be the manager of “Woofy’s,” and his brother, were formerly operating the Petland Store in Fairfax, VA where a Humane Society undercover investigation found 14 dead rabbits in the store’s freezer. It was determined that these rabbits had needlessly suffered and ultimately died without proper veterinary care. Just a few years before, customers bought puppies from the same store, and the puppies ultimately died after just a few days, raising questions about the medical care given to the puppies prior to being sold. At least one customer filed a lawsuit against the store owners. There were numerous accounts of the mistreatment of the animals and the filthy conditions in the store. The Petland store was shut down last year but clearly these men are now attempting to operate a similar business under the new name of Woofys.

This goes beyond the business issue of a trademark infringement. In our opinion, this is a moral and ethical issue. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST so that we can make sure these men are not able to open and operate another pet store. We need to protect the animals!
