Hobbies

As we enter into the new year all you hear about are the resolutions that people are setting (and breaking).  Scott and I have both set a few resolutions.  One of mine is to find a hobby for myself, keep your fingers crossed that sewing can fill that void.

Scott on the other hand has quite a hobby going in the garage.  Most of you may know that Scott is a pretty darn good wood worker.  He has built many things around our house.  For example, he has built a book shelf in the basement, he is working on a new bar, he built an entertainment center, a bed and dresser.  And then there is the most prized possession in our home.  Two years ago Scott built the most wonderful crib for Olivia which has now turned into Finn's bed.  I am sure it will become a family heirloom.  Hopefully one that is passed down for many generations.

If you notice in the left corner of the front of the crib there is a little plaque.  This plaque was purchased as a Christmas present from my parents a few years back.  Below is a close up of it.  Is says "Loving Handcrafted By Scott Waletzko May Angles Watch Over You".  I love love love this plaque.  It is perfect.

 

Now that Finn has claimed the crib Olivia needed a place to stay.  We opted out of buying a new bedroom set for her and Scott built her a new one.  Of course, it is painted pink (and is queen sized, fitting right?).  

After the bed was complete he refinished an existing dresser and mirror to match.

We are so very lucky to have such a handy man around the house.  I know Scott is drooling at the bit to get the kids into the garage so he can share his knowledge.
