Burning Up the Nursery?

I was trying to figure out how to make sure that my wee little doors and the trinket chests could be recognized as being done by me.

The Flower Petal Faeries were easy, on the very bottom petticoat layer, I have hand written in the nurseries initials, the year and the faerie's name.

All of the packaging was easy as I just ordered rubber stamps with the company full name and the logo. So everything paper gets stamped.

Now back to the wood products! My husband suggested looking into some type of branding iron?? Off to the good ole internet I went. I made contact with Brand New Industries Inc. and with the help of Alyssa, I approved a branding plate. It took a bit to figure out exactly which branding iron would suit my purposes the best (in case I ever wanted to get a plate made with the company name on it).

But here is the final product. A big thank you goes out to my husband who was kind enough to do all of the branding for me....that is 80 faerie doors and 60 trinket chests (yes, more on their way in the mail).

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.

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 :)
