February 16: Business of the Day

Since Friday afternoon, Kevin and I have been spending hours cutting and sanding and sanding some more. Sanding  is not the glamourous part of woodworking, but we do quite a bit.  Kevin is not very dusty compared to some days, but then I was doing more of the sanding at that point.  lol

Can you guess what all of this represents?

February 16: I Love the Surprises of Winter

These are not bird feathers pelleted at our handrail.  This is part of the mornings' Hoars Frost.  God has so many marvels for us to observe if we just take the time.

February 15: Mostly Out of Commission Yesterday, but...

I did go to class and work on several business bits, but mostly I slept.  It is very unlike me to nap and even more unlike me to leave class before it is over, but I did both.  I also left both classes very early.  It has always annoyed me that students leave early, especially went they complain later about their low grades, but................

Anyway, today I feel so much better.  I am almost done with all the laundry and have dusted and vacuumed every part of the house.  I have also done some more designing, and I am working on my last piece of homework until Tuesday.  The afternoon is scheduled for the shop.  Until Kevin finishes cutting out the final pieces for the ruler holders and the quilt stand, I will do the final hand sanding on my comfort crosses. 

***********************************
For those of you following the saga of my FIL's back problems:  He had a shot in his back yesterday.  He was pretty uncomfortable according to those who were awake.  Today he seems a bit better.  The boys are off for another doctor appointment and haircuts this morning.  Think the side trip to get haircuts is a good sign.

February 14: Searching and Experimenting on a logo

We have a few ideas for a business logo.  Currently something like this sketch I made or maybe an altered photo turned into something like this is in the running.  Opinions?

Goal is to make the table appear to be coming right out of the wood.  This is a ROUGH sketch but it is of a piece Kevin already made.


If not, it might be something with initials, possibly with letters tht look carved out of wood.

Anyone feeling creative and want to make a submission?


This is part of the first stages of actually building our website.  =o)

February 13: Is it my imagination?

Is it my imagination, or did this box of strips multiply over night?

I sewed last night and finished up quite a few blocks.

Then I sewed this morning for several hours.

 After  I finished studying today, I had a little more time to make a few more blocks.  Now I have to decide whether to make them larger log cabins, leave them this size, put them on point, or just do these this way.

I have not put any new scraps into the box, so it must be that I am stirring the pot!  I decided that I am going to use all kinds of scraps except for the ones with words, or actual pictures.  Whatever way I decide to go, it will be another twin sized quilt for the grandkids room.

February 12: I Enjoyed Playing

 What do you do when you have a 30 gallon container of strips, that are between 2" and 3"? 

I am going to experiment and play!!!!

I am thinking a bright log cabin, but I may go with this kind of thing.  I have lots of "whites", and this seems to be looking kind of fun.  Of course the blocks would only going to finish out at 4".  Whatever I decide, it will be BRIGHT!

Life is GOOD!
