When Hobby Meets Etsy


Welp!  I helped honey open his Etsy shop.  Slowly projects are being completed and added to the shop.  It's still a work in progress and I'm flying blind with Etsy so it's obviously home spun and not stylized.  Much like this blog!  But I'm learning as I find spare time (insert snicker here).



It's really cool how his vast interests, creativity, willingness to learn and then try, and his short attention span have turned into this great Etsy shop!


It all started with this plaque!  I was excited to share the process and finished product on social media.  My instagram community loved it!  (Instagram is my jam!).  We even got an order for 2 custom made plaques from one of my sweet instagram friends!  She has no idea how she's inspired us!


Honey and I work well together on projects.  It's fun to see him create and finish his projects and be proud of his work.  It's good for me too so I can stretch my creative muscles.  I have not used them in over 20 years!

Anyway... check out our Etsy shop Drosselmeyers and let us know what you think!

Bragging Rights - Honey Built This!

Honey has never been trained as a carpenter, yet he loves working with wood.  His paternal grandfather was a carpenter but only during honey's toddlerhood.  By the time honey would have been old enough to learn from him, Pop was already working on the oilfields as a field foreman.

Yet honey inherited a gift from his Pop.  I can only imagine the amazing work from honey's hands if he would have been able to learn from his Pop.

However; with no carpentry training, honey continues to amaze me with his awesome work. He draws it up in his black book, figures out the dimensions and creates!






Here's his latest masterpiece:  A desk for our den/office.  I get one next.  


Amazing, right!?!?  I'm so proud of my honey!!
