Resident Floral Arranger and Woodworker

HWNSNBP has become quite the outdoor floral arranger.  He put together these barrels and basket using greens and decorative items gleaned from previous years and newly from the $Tree.  The larger ones have solar lights in them that glow after dusk.  




He also put his woodworking skills to work with a couple of projects for presents.

He made and is making puzzle tables.  This one was for our son and daughter-in-law.  The legs below collapse so it can be used on a table top while sitting or extended for standing or placing on a bed like a bed tray.  It has four drawers for sorting pieces.  When the drawers close it forms a "frame" on all sides so if you want to move it to another location the puzzle that you are working on will not slide off.  The drawers are removable also to take some of the weight off whilst moving.   Ours is still in the works but I'm looking forward to using it once we clean up all the Christmas decorations.


He also made a battery organizer for our daughter and son-in-law like the one that he had made us several years ago.  This is hanging in our cellar stairway and is very convenient when replacing batteries.  


He does great work!  His workshop is in the garage (unattached from our house) so it gets pretty cold in there in the winter, so he's back and forth to the cellar to work on these projects.  But he enjoys it.  Gotta find him something new to work on soon.

  2. Your DH is a treasure! He has so many talents (obviously). I think he should market the puzzle table because there are many people who would love it. At the very least he could sell the pattern/design.
    Happy 2021 to you both!

  3. He's a keeper for sure! I have seen the puzzle tables before, what a great idea. As is the battery storage thing...have to share that with my own hubby!

  4. The puzzle table and the battery organiser both look brilliant! The removable trays are very neat. I use an old wardrobe door on short legs, I can't even remember what my Dad's original intention for it was.
