Christmas at The Poe House


On Christmas Eve I got a whopping two hours off from work to do whatever I wanted.  I chose to use part of that time to finish "The Poe House" sign.  I just started to learn how to wood burn and used this small board that I found in a box of weight equipment I purchased a few months ago.  I saved the board just in case I needed it for something in the future; I hate to throw anything out because I never know when I might find it handy! 

To explain the sign a little: My husband's last name is Poe and during one of our trips somewhere we learned that Poe meant peacock in one of the Scandinavian languages (Old Norse).  It was intended to be a practice sign but we decided we liked it well enough to use.  I guess I'll be adding hooks and a strap to it for hanging on our porch.

  2. Thank you. Considering I didn't have the proper supplies for the transferring of the peacock onto the board, I am quite happy with the result. The old saying, "There's more than one way to skin a cat" rings true yet again.
