Madison is currently out of town visiting relatives, but more importantly,(kidding) she is bringing back with her something she purchased on ebay for the teeny tiny home. I won't ruin it for you, but lets just say its something that is a thing, that some people think about sometimes, but not often at all actually. I know we are really pushing the $cheap cost of things, but we spent $50 on this item and we both love it, so there. But for today, I just wanted to show off an item Madison made for the house, and while I was thinking about it, I added some items into the photo that have been made BY us, or FOR us, that will be permanent fixtures in our home. Thats really the fun in all of this, to see how much we can actually make ourselves, without just running to the store and purchasing it. (afterthought photo added at the bottom)
Bowl was cut, bent, and hammered by Madison for storing fruit (nectarines) or as I will be using it, as a hat. This item was $free to make, materials were provided.
Picture is of my Granny Peg. On the back of the photo it said, "my red hair," so I embroidered that phrase into the photo. The name on the bottom, and the frame was painted by our great friend Marie Kisling who also made this...
Helmet was hand painted by Marie for $150, well under the cost of the amazing work she did on it (vrooooom). My new hobby is anything motorcycle, and once I finally get mine running, this helmet will be on my head.
Wooden Vase was hand carved, sanded, and painted by Levi Christiansen. Another great friend who is a skilled craftsman, photographer, and visionary. We helped to fund his furniture making kickstarter campaign, and this was his gift to us.
Pillow is made from purchased fabric that Madison screen printed one of her many childhood homes on. She drew the house, printed it on the fabric, and used the sewing machine to close it up. I stuffed it!
Flower/Cacti Fabric is also hand drawn, screen printed, and colored by Madison. We think we might use this fabric as a couch covering, or fun curtains.
*Fun fact side note, my wife is skilled! Such talent she has.
