A Beautiful Box Made Just for Me…

For Christmas my husband made me the most amazing yarn box, I just had to share it with you!  It is made from a gorgeous cherry wood…

And look at those dovetail joints, marvelous!  He did the entire thing by hand, no power tools used here.  Also, a natural shellac finish to show off that fabulous wood grain.

 I love the idea of using something made by hand the old way to make other things by hand, so incredibly neat!

A yarn ball rolling around on the floor drives me absolutely crazy, and now my yarn will be housed in a pretty box while I’m working on a project and stay put and be debris free.  Yay!
