New Best Friend??

I'm not sure how I managed all of the other sanded doors I have done but I tell you....I have a new best friend!!

Today I purchased the Black & Decker Mouse Sander/Polisher and WOW! Did I say WOW yet?? I managed to get 6 large and 25 small doors completed sanded in under 2 hours! AMAZING....WOW.

Totally recommend this product to anyone that has small items to sand and that have small little hands that can't take the abuse from a larger palm sander.

It's a dusty job!

Well I managed to get 18 doors sanded today. Was able to sit in the sunshine and work away. Had Hubby take a few pics...not the best side of me lol. But cool that I can post a few pictures of the doors being completed. And yes, I was wearing all of my safety gear: safety glasses, dust mask and gloves :)

Well it's done!! My little petal faerie called Blossom is the first one to be placed on my Esty page. Hopefully this link works!!

And as the weekend goes on between sanding all the little doors (I found my protective safety glasses finally), I will be putting more faeries up on the site...

Figured this blog should be set to music....so I chose this song by Teddy Pendergrass, I hope you enjoy it:

So obviously today's blog is all about doors! Doors and even more doors. 

A massive thank you goes to hubby for cutting out my latest batch of wee little faerie doors.

We ended up with 13 of larger doors and 48 of the smilers one!! 

And that's a whole lot of doors.

So now the rest of the work is up to me. 

These doors will all need to be sanded down. Next they will be coated with out 

Varathane Diamond Wood Finish Outdoor Water Based sealant. 

Here are the pictures of the doors in the 'raw'. 

As you can see there is a lot of character and markings on the wood. 

I can't wait to see them finished.

Again thank you to Freund's Building Supplies for the donation :)

Faerie Doors

Well thank you to Freund's Building Supplies for allowing us to go dig through their weathered forgotten wood in the 'back forty'. I tried my best to use the Dremel but alas my hands weren't meant to use power tools :(  So thank goodness for my wonderful hubby :)  We managed to trace out a few doors and get them cut. After lots of sanding the next step was to stain. So the pictures you see below are from the design/concept stage all the way the completed dried second coat of stain. The doors are measuring approximately 6" x 3.5". Wood widths are varying depending on the type of wood. I am trying to have them cut so all the character of the wood remains.
