Make It From Scratch #13

Welcome! We have another great week of entries. Every week, there are entries that inspire me to try new things. There are entries that frustrate me because I'd really like to make them, but don't have the skills, or the time right now to learn them. I still enjoy these entries though, and file them away for future reference. Yes, one day I will learn to knit and crotchet! The creativity and variety always amazes me. So go, visit, be inspired and amazed!

Creative Uses For Wood
This week I thought it was interesting that three of the entires involved using wood in unusual ways. One of them just happened to be mine. Not Your Average Flower Pot.

The next entry is something that I thought about doing in my own home, but couldn't figure out how to make it work. Thanks to Sara, I just might be able to do it. (some rainy day when I'm not in the garden!) How to Make a Rustic Curtain Rod posted at HowToMe
