Owl Cutting Board

The cutting board doesn’t take up a whole lot of wood, so if you have a scrap piece of hardwood lying around this project is an excellent way to use it up. Or, if you purchase a whole board, you'll have enough leftover wood from the first one that you can make several cutting boards and give them away as gifts! It's also a fun project to practice using woodburning tools.

DIY Lavender All-Purpose Cleaner

Lavender grows abundantly in the Pacific Northwest. Spend a weekend afternoon at Pike Place Market, and you can come home with an assortment of lavender goods: oils, soaps, lotions, and beyond. This lavender-infused all-purpose cleaner is a green (and lovely-smelling) alternative to harsh cleaning products.

How to Build a Strawberry Planter

In the temperate Seattle weather strawberries are a great plant to start in the winter as a bare root plant that will come alive in spring, or to wait to plant until late spring when the weather has warmed up to accommodate growing. This strawberry planter is a great way to start a small crop of berries without taking up too much space.
