Hey everyone!! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted so I thought I would give everyone an update on what’s been going on.

On May 30th I had a total hip replacement on my left hip (Doc said the joint was completely gone). I had been in pain for as long as I can remember and the pain only got worse in January 2019. I was to where I would just sit at home because moving/walking hurt to much.

I have been slowly recovering the past 5 1/2 weeks. The pain I felt my whole life is gone but now I’m having different pains, good pains. Im having to learn how to use muscles I’ve never used before. Those who know me personally know I’m not a fan of exercising so aching muscles really aren’t my thing! I’m still not physically able to do much right now but I am getting better. The Doctor said I probably wouldn’t be able to return to work until early September. I find out in August if I’m having my right hip replaced late this fall.

I’m the middle of all my health issues we have been working on fixing/updating a bigger house. We are all very excited to be moving into a larger house (hopefully) before school starts. The girls are excited to have their own space and be closer to their friends.

I’m so anxious to get back to work giving new life to old items and helping customers build furniture to fit their lifestyle! Hopefully I don’t have to wait until September!!!

How cute are these coffee cup sweaters?!

My kids absolutely love them. Their hands don’t get too hot holding a disposable coffee cup from gas stations. They are $5 each.

As some of you know, I have injured my foot and currently unable to be on my foot for more then 15 minutes at a time. It is very likely that I will have surgery on my foot in a few weeks with a LONG recovery.

Due to this I am not going to be able to work on furniture so I have no choice but to close custom orders at this time. I am very slowly working on the custom orders that were previously placed.

I am still hoping to attend a couple craft fairs this fall. I will keep you posted on that as events come up. I will also post pictures of furniture that is for sale as it is completed.

We are restocked with car puzzles! Fred Ligtenburg of Armour hand carves car puzzles for us. They are only $15.

They would make great stocking stuffers. Christmas is only 13 weeks away.

As some of you know my oldest daughter has been having some health issues. We are still trying to figure out exactly what is going on.
I have not been around to get any furniture completed this week and depending on how everything goes I probably won’t get anything done next week either.

I would like to thank everyone for being so understanding. I have two customers who were supposed to get new dining room furniture this week. Unfortunately this isn’t going to happen. Believe me I’m just as bummed about it as you! My favorite part of redoing and building furniture is the customers reaction to the finished product.

Hopefully we will get some answers on what is going on and get back to “normal”. I’m hoping we will have those dining sets completed very very soon!
