      I didn't use plans but I know I did see a few for sale on the net. I just got the dimensions from some that were sale on a web site and attempted to 'wing it'. Dad put it together with biscuit joins. Were nearly done, gluing the first one this arvo:)

    Your Christmasy~Advent blog header is lovely! I like the idea of coloring the background with coloured pencils. I've never tried that before...but I have used crayons, which turn out to be fairly washable! I'll have to try your method, sometime soon. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

    I look forward to seeing those playstands finished--not many folks make their own. :-) Your sign is just beautiful.

    This is so inspiring! I hadn't ever thought of colored pencils on embroidery. Great idea.
