Woodshop Project - Birdhouses this time

[LittleBittyBigJohn]

My Mom has gotten a bad diagnosis recently. We have been trying to help create as many good memories as possible, for her and for our family. We built some wooden tulips before Easter and had a painting party and cooked a big breakfast with close family, it was a really good time.

This time it's going to be crazy birdhouses. Man are they crazy! My wife painted the first one as an example. We are building 9 more. 3 are roosters like the painted one, 3 are blue jays, and 3 cardinals. There is a TON of labor in these things and we have only completed one and parts for 9 more.

That’s a great idea to lift the spirits. You guys are very talented also. Praying for your Mom…God bless!

Very creative!!!! I want to do things like this, but there isn't any time to do fun projects right now. Hopefully it will happen in the future. Post more pics, I enjoy seeing what you come up with.

We had our painting party last weekend. Everyone had fun. But it sure took a long time to get everything painted.

Those are great. Do you have patterns or pictures for everyone to use when designing what they are going to paint?

Thanks!

This time we printed out pictures from the website where we got the plans to have for reference. My wife is very creative and great at anything artsy, so she drew face outlines for anyone that wanted them.

That makes sense. I was wondering how you could have so many people that were all that good at painting!!!
