Beyond The Picket Fence: Cabinet First Aid

I love this Blog!!!  I was actually looking at the cabinet she built to go under the first aid cabinet.  Such a simple design, cute and functional.  I think I could actually make this one!  Enjoy!

New Craft Pictures

I guess it's about time for me to show off some of my crafts!  I'm not making as many of the funny barn wood signs, but all sorts of cute stuff out of barbed wire.
This is a large personalized wall or door sign.
These are a huge hit.  These are 15" and I make them 20" also.
A lot of my items start from a request of a customer for something different.


Spring Break Houston Livestock Show

Spring break Houston Livestock Show was fantastic!!!  As expected, the pig gets sick a week before the show and drops 15 pounds.  We get him recovered and were lucky that his weight was at the maximum for the medium weight class.  Houston is filled with sift after sift, but Brady (my 3rd son) was waved straight to the ring with his pig.  The cheers rang out through the barn from friends and teachers who were also there.  They place ten, he was either 11th or 12th which is awesome.  The reason he didn't place higher?  One of the judges noticed the pig would swing a leg differently every once in a while.  That is how competitive this huge show is.  This is Brady's first year to breed, raise, and show his own pigs and he did VERY well in two major shows with two of those pigs in spite of all the obstacles he had to overcome.   We were tickled pink!!!!  Now, we start all over again.
