Spent the week helping a daughter by watching the grandkids while son-in-law was doing a trade show.    It's hard to walk around my kids' homes without seeing some of my projects.   Here are few of hers:

 

Shaker sewing box

 

Foray into hand-cut dovetails, coaster set

 

Shadow box for wedding bouquet

 

Keepsake box, HS graduation

 

Candle stands, also used in wedding

 

Knick-knack shelf, actually she made this when she was about 11 or 12 with my help.

 

Picture framing and matting

 

 

Toy building blocks

 

Linen cabinet in kid's bathroom, made to fit in a corner and match store-bought vanity.

 

Boy's platform beds (meant as an interim until they get bunk beds)  -- pardon the mess

 

Tow-Mater Adirondack chair for the "Cars" fan

 

More framing and matting (needlepoint done by another daughter)

 

Foyer bench / storage unit for winter clothes

 

Yet more framing (one for each of 4 kids with annual school photos)

 

Jewelry box and necklace stands

 

Master bedroom bed and nightstands

 

Master bedroom dressers.  While I ordered the wood from a company that is a major distributor of quarter-sawn wood, the ash does not come quarter-sawn, so the grain is a bit wilder than I'd hoped.   One of these is the one that broke my toe.

 

 

Master bath linen cabinet for the alcove, likewise to match purchased vanity.  Had to do in two pieces to get it into the spot once the toilet was in.

 

Clothes hook for the "cupcake room" (Natalie)

 

Seat and stool combo

 

Rocking horse

 

 

Your daughter and family are very fortunate to have your craftsmanship throughout their home. Great work!
