Foolish Mortal

It's not even July and I'm already feeling the Halloween itch, so I started working on my DIY "Tomb Sweet Tomb" sign
I just need to figure out how to make the "wooden branch" frame. Any ideas? |

It's looking good! If you are handy, the wooden branch frame isn't that difficult. It's basically 4 sticks and 4 nails. The quilt might only
attach to 2 sides (Both sides or Top/bottom). It you want a snug fit and to have it flush on all four sides, you will need to chisel out grooves where they
connect. Saw into the wood as deep as you want the groove to be. You will need to saw both sides of the grove. Then use the chisel to pop out the middle of
the groove. I'd practice on a scrap piece of wood first so you don't accidentally split your frame.
Good luck, and post photos when you're done! |

Nope Jess, you're not alone. I can see a fantastically white rectangle with small print stating, "THIS PHOTO IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE".
Bummer... |

Ok good. I thought my computer was on one of its fits.
I think I know why I like photobucket better... |

Ok now, I cannot see the image either! For those that can, unless you are pulling our leg or something, as it were, what operating system do you have? And
browser? And are you MAC or PC? Rather ridiculous that some people can see it, (Possibly) while others cannot.

I've been inspired to "haunt my hallway" so I need to finish up the frame and figure out where I'm going to put this piece. For the time
being, I've found a couple of images from the family portrait gallery in the mansion and have framed and hung them. Additionally, I've used velcro
(I'm an apartment dweller) to add ceiling moulding similar to the mansion's and will be painting the walls in the signature blueish purple color like
the mansion.
