Oh man it's been over 6 years since I made a tutu, but I do love how this one turned out and of course the matching onesie for the Birthday Girl

Happy Monday everyone! Back at the grind today and I am happy to be at it. This year I would really like to get back to making shirts and I have postwd a few ideas I have in mind. They are available in black, white, grey and come in small-xlarge, adults. ... T-shirts are $25 each If you are interested in ordering any of these prints I am taking orders now. I am working on more sayings and also looking into sweaters as well. As always custom orders are always welcome

We had a great holiday and was so nice to spend it with family and I hope you all did as well. I am open and ready to take orders You can send messages through private message or email [email protected]

Just finished up these small Valentines Hanging Signs We don't decorate for Valentines like we do for Christmas, but I like having a few little things around the house for the girls to look at. I have a few more prints coming...will post as I finish them

First order of the year made and out the door

With 2020 almost gone let's hear about some memories you have made

How is everyone's week been so far?

Valentine's Day is only a month away and I was wondering do any of you celebrate and go out? We don't celebrate...Craig usually gets me flowers and a bottle of wine but thats about it. The other question I have for you....do you decorate? If so would anyone be interested in some small cute items?

We made this bear for family members and they loved it. I wasn't very confident in myself for some reason before starting this project. Craig did the bear outline and then said okay here you go you do the smeller pieces....of course he did haha! So I took it slow and got it done. Definitely not giving up but just going to take it slow to get my confidence back with using my scroll saw. ... Having my husband help me and be supportive means so much. When I first started making signs I never thought I would be getting into using a scroll saw. Trying new things is always what will help you better yourself. Having a support system helps you to keep going and not give up. Making mistakes only makes you learn and try again.

Our family wants to wish all of you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thank you again for an amazing year and can't wait to see what 2021 has in store for my little business.

I will be opening back up Jan 4th,2021

4 hours later and all our Christmas baking is done! This is only half of it because I have put some away for a few gifts. Do you do baking for Christmas? Or do you buy already made goodies?

A cute sign for a Grandma's kitchen and I think my thank you card looks pretty good on here as well

Needed some new business and thank you cards

This sign was a very popular sign this year so I am going to make a few at a time to have in stock. Once I have them made and ready to go I will post them available, but remember you can still place an order at anytime.

All this mess turned into these shirts I was thinking in the new year I am going to have some shirt ideas that will always be available and all you have to do is pick the size and colour you would like to order. I will post the shirts in an album as I make them with prices so it will all be easy to find. I dont have a website so for now this is how I will show case what I have made. ... I am still taking custom orders, I just thought having some ideas always available would be good.

If you are looking for ideas to keep the kids busy over the 2 weeks of holidays, I have a craft idea for you. You choose a shape, tree, snowman or mitten, and I supply the paint and paintbrush. This little bundle is $12 and comes with all you need.... All bundles will be cut, sanded and packed this weekend so there is still time to get yours.

Here are a few more signs I have made in the last couple weeks ....next up is a small outdoor sign, a sweater, 4 tshirts and 2 tank tops. Definitely finishing out this year strong.

First order of DIY kits packaged and ready for delivery

Getting into the holiday spirit This Santa Tray is too cute and had to be shared And of course I love all the porch signs

Happy Friday Are you looking for a fun craft to do with the kids over the holidays or just in general? I have 3 patterns available to order-- snowman, a tree and a mitten. ... Each kit comes with your cut out shape, a paint brush and paint all for $12

Something fun and exciting is coming for the kids....stay tuned

Even tho my cut off date has come and gone already...wow... I do have tons of already made items ready to go. If you are looking at supporting local small businesses and still need gifts take a look at what I have and let me know if something catches your eyes

Happy Saturday What is everyone up to today?

I can't express how much all of you have helped and supported my business this year. Some of you shared, referred me, liked posts and placed orders. All of these ways mean so much to me and won't be forgotten. With the holidays not far away I have to put a order cut off date so that way I will be able to get my holiday stuff done around my home and most of all spend time with my family and recharge myself to be all ready for the new year. I will be open to take new orders January 4th and please remember orders can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to be completed depending on your order.

Took a little time to make our own Santa Tray. Still need to add a few more decals to make it complete

These cute decorations

Good Morning everyone! I hope you all have a great day

Another one done!!

Made this big sign for our kitchen because it is very true to us

Take home DIY kits being prepared They will come with a shape, paint and a paint brush all for $10 each Pumpkins will be available for Halloween and then Christmas and Winter shapes will also be available ... If you are interested in purchasing any let me know so I can get them ready for you.

I stock Items are posted below with prices and how many are available of each. Once the items sell out I will take the pictures down, but you can always place an order

Love when my customers share my signs once they are taken home and put in their place

One of my favourite items to make are these double sided porch signs.

Happy Wednesday Its been awhile since I have posted in here, but I have been busy getting into the new routine with the kids being home and doing online learning and getting orders done. If you have Instagram or know someone who does head on over and make sure to follow me over there ....@dardesigns1 ... Once I reach 50 followers and we are almost there I am going to do a GIVEAWAY Yahoo I am also going to do a GIVEAWAY here as well once I get to 100

I love making the custom orders, but I was wondering would you all like to see me make items and build up stock to have ready to go? I have ideas floating in my head and want to share them, but I dont want to get crazy with this if custom orders are better. I only ask because you are my support behind this business I am trying to build and make full time. You are my customers who support me by liking, sharing and purchasing. This is my dream and I am going to keep moving for...ward so the opinions count very much. Thank you everyone See more

New toys for the shop

Rounds, rounds and rounds.....I have 5 15inch rounds ready , but willing to get more, to be customized by you. Rounds look nice on a front door, on a shelf or fire mantel and even cute for a child's room . With Fall just around the corner and winter up next I was thinking these would be cute added to your decor. I can stain them, paint them, add vinyl and maybe if your lucky, , could even scroll something to put on them like pumpkins, leaves and Christmas trees.

Double sided porch sign done with some extra added touches

First time using the scroll saw to cut out this name. Another sign going in a nursery

Cute pieces that will be going into a nursery

Here is the Firepit sign done horizontally This sign right here would make a great gift for the outdoors person It can be done in different colours and either vertically or horizontally $60

Made this sign for a friend's clients If you are a real estate agent or know one who is looking for closing gifts I would love to help make these items

I know we are still enjoying our Summer, but we all know in 4 months it will be Christmas. With that being said I just wanted everyone to know I am taking Christmas orders now Either its a gift or your looking at decor for your home. Last year I got pretty busy starting in October for Christmas orders so to make sure you get what your looking for and on time don't wait to place your order.

Just a few projects I have finished and have been hung up at my customers homes!

I was asked to help put a finishing touch on this custom paddle. If you are looking to add some cool decor to your cottage or home then you definitely need to check out "Oar You Kidding Me". Oar you kidding me is two sisters who decided, with the help from their family, to start making these custom paddles. ... Supporting the local makers honestly gives us a reason to do a happy dance

Photo Ledges Another item we have never made, but when a customer asks you to make something new you accept the challenge and make them

Very happy with the way this sign turned out. I wanted to try out my scroll saw and this was the first sign I was able to add the scrolled pieces to. There is another sign I am working on that will also have scrolled pieces added to it

A few days late posting this sign but when I'm given a rush order I get it done. I hope this couple had a very happy day yesterday

A fellow dance mom and her family completed this puzzle during quarantine. She asked if we could make a frame for it, so a frame she got.

Why scroll something big and simple for the first time when you can go small and a little tricky.

Sunflowers are so welcoming

Here are a few more items available Prices are under each picture

Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend Was just going through all my stock I have ready and available for pick up. Only limited amounts of each item so if your interested contact me right away so we can make sure you get it first. If an item sells before you get a chance to purchase it, we can always place the order and i can get it made and ready for you

A graduation shirt Congratations to all the grads out there

Love the porch signs

T-shirt for a birthday, father's day gifts, school and for some essential workers. It was fun designing these and then putting them on all the shirts.

I say this to my girls every night at bedtime

Father's Day is approaching and I can take up to 2-3 more orders depending on the size. If you have any ideas or looking for something send me a message and let's see what we can do for you

Lots on the go here plus 1 tshirt, 2 sweaters and a shelf

One of my favourite places to sit While I sit here this evening I am thinking about the busy week I have ahead of me. I hope everyone had a good weekend and here is to a new week

Another toy added to my collection of tools. I never thought I would be doing this type of work before in my life, but here I am buying ear plugs, safety goggles,using a palm sander, learning how to use a scroll saw and now getting a Dremel. Next up will be learning how to use the saws so I don't have to wait for my husband to do all my cutting.....even tho he does a really good job at it. I started out just making a few simple signs for my home over a year and a half ago and now for the past 8 months I have been getting busier and the orders keep on coming. I have a plan, a dream and goals to hit and I know I am going to get there.

A friend asked me to make her a shelf to hold all her essential oils....well I designed a shelf for her and she absolutely loves it. I actually love this shelf more than my own essential oil shelf

Such a true saying for the teachers right now

Given this old thing a go

You can't see the words but there is a bunch on this board....painting I shall do

This sign turned out so nice and I love when my customers send me pictures once they have taken the items home and put them in their place If anyone is wondering what language "gezellig" , it is Dutch and doesn't have just one meaning but has many.

Definitely things we all should be doing in this crazy life we are living right now. Completing some Mother's Day gifts

Turning 10 is a big deal and should be so much fun so I hope the birthday girl who gets to wear this on her special day has such a fun day and loves this shirt like I do....rose gold and black, yes please My daughter will be turning 10 in a few weeks as well so of course I had to make her a shirt to wear on her special day too. These two girls are a month apart and dance together. They will be able to tell the story of turning double digits together during this time forever

Love how these two signs turned out and can't wait for them to be in the home of where they belong

No more worrying about getting paint, stain or sanding dust on my good clothes.....work shirts are being made! Mya really wanted to help make this one, she did all the placing of the letters and feathers, used the iron press and peeled off the plastic. Love when the girls want to learn what I do to make all these projects. They really do watch everything we do and when they want to learn it means we are doing something right. Also for all my Instagram friends please follow my @dardesigns1 and if your not on IG, please feel free to let friends and family know. Every little bit helps
