Re purposed Chicken Feeder {doodlebug designs}

Its been a while since we last posted...

WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!! At least it's under contract, so as good as sold! That being said, we have been SO busy lately, with showing the house, then cleaning, packing, and working, and parenting.  There hasn't been a whole lot of free time for crafting.  Which make both of us a little down in the dumps.

We still find time to do a few little projects, and a few weeks ago, we took a day off from all the ho hums of life (packing, and cleaning, and working) and got down to a few things we've really wanted to do....

Slightly broken, very dirty chicken feeder. {BEFORE}

After, gorgeous planter!

I found two of these chicken feeders $5 each on a local yard sale site. They were a bit broken down, but I saw some hidden beauty in them! I spray painted the tin a way pretty "poppy red" color that I've been eyeing forever but could never find a project for. Then I painted the wood white, sanded, and stained over it so it looks antique-ish. I love the way it turned out and I can't wait to plant my flowers in it!

A few things we've been working on!

We have been CRAZY with crafts the last few weeks, we are still trying to sell our house. So we are trying to keep busy so we don't go stir crazy!

The Bed of Beds. {doodlebug}

If you follow us on facebook then you have seen this, but bare with us for a moment, this is one of my proudest accomplishments.

Keith and I... BUILT A BED!  In a little less than 12 hours.

and... its a gorgeous bed.

THE BED!!!

We plan to paint it white, with grey over it at some point, but its cold outside, so for now, its wood colored and smells like heaven.

Be proud.  This project came in at right around $160 (wood, screws, brackets etc.)

We were looking to buy the same type/look of bed and it was over $800 so... I'd call that a win!!!

Custom Orders Summertime, Gladness! {doodlebug}

After the Swap meet, we had a long break from craft fairs, we still made crafts, and summertime is when we really focus on custom orders.  Of course we love and accept custom orders anytime.  Summertime is when we have the most, (probably cause I don't work summers, and I've got lots of extra time)

So here are some pictures of some of our custom orders!

Sorry about the quality in some of these, sometimes cellphone pictures just... lack finesse!
