My favorite Robert Frost Poem

Pin It When I made this pallet frame, like the PB one from the spring catalog, I found a great tutorial from The Lettered Cottage.  Find their instructions on their blog here.

Well, I made the frame and stained in Early American.  Then it sat for a few weeks while I decided on what to put on it.

Actually, I'm not really big on poetry, but I've always loved a Robert Frost poem.  I couldn't remember the name of it, but I had it memorized.  So I googled it and printed it out.

Two weeks past as I made sure that was something I would want on my wall for awhile.


After consulting with a co-worker (who is the human reference book of quotes - Hi Tracy), the Robert Frost poem seemed to be logical.  I went home and used these chunky stamp letters.

My sons HATE the fact I used these horrible chunky letters.  They said they couldn't read the words and the O looked like D and the N like the H...So then why did I like them?  I thought it looked like a sign you would find at a fork in the road in the woods.  Or is that just me?

Okay, that photo above doesn't really look that great.  But I continued stamping away...

I can read the words.  No, it isn't perfect and no, it doesn't look pretty.  So, why am I the only one whe likes it?

Oh well, maybe this is just one of those things that only the creator can love?
