Remember my post about visiting our friends' farm in the middle of nowhere? I never did tell you what we did there, did I?
In addition to a mountain-style cabin and a few small barns that house goats and chickens, the family also has a woodshop, as the father is a carpenter.
As many of you know, Mr. Handsome has been doing a lot of painting. (Click here to see his latest work.)
With Mother's Day coming up, we both decided that his artwork would make for meaningful gifts. We went searching for frames in the correct size and found them to be quite expensive.
Back in his high school days, Mr. Handsome made a guitar and foosball table in a woodworking class, so he decided to try his hand at making frames. Our friends graciously offered the use of their woodshop.
We purchased several 8-foot pieces of baseboard molding and brought them over to the shop.
It took a bit of time to measure, cut, glue, and clamp...
...But within a few hours, Mr. Handsome and our carpenter friend had created five beautiful picture frames.
Mr. Handsome applied stain a few days later. What do you think of the finished product?
The horse painting is for Mr. Handsome's sister Lena, who just turned 13 years old, and the wave is for my mom. The mill is for Mr. Handsome's grandmother, and the barn is for my mother-in-law. Not only am I thrilled at the result, but I'm also relieved that our Mother's Day gifts are taken care of. LOL
