This monthly review walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.


And we’ll cut right to the chase this month — here’s the run-down of what we did here on Bekob in May, just in case you missed anything. Thanks for reading and being part of the Bekob community!
Why I Garden (and why you should, too!)
We love LOVE our garden, and we think that everyone should grow a garden, and #GroSomethingGreater. Because the fresh veggies are great, but the family time in our yard is so. much. better. 
straightforward Color-Stained Carved Wood Sign
My dad is a woodcarver, so wood carving has always held a special spot in my heart. See how you can make an straightforward carved wood sign with just one little (inexpensive!) Dremel tool — plus use a color washing technique to make it any color you want!
