creativity week:: 4 :: branch coat rack

Our trees got pruned at the end of last summer and since then, Lala had been eyeing one of the branches not yet claimed for the fireplace or other projects. It was too "branchy" for most of our uses. Lala saw the use in that.

A few days ago, I came in and found that she and Mike had designed and executed a child sized coat rack. It now sits by our front door, and while we didn't need more hooks there, I find the kids are hanging their coats on their own. Some of those lower branches? Perfect for boots.
