Planning and Surprise sales

 

At dinner on Sunday our friend Jackie gave me a big bag of glass pebbles

 

They were such a beautiful shade of blue/green I couldn't wait to incorporate them into a driftwood piece

 

A great Mothers Day gift?

 

The comments on FB so far would suggest yes!

 

 

and on the topic of Mothers Day this collection of stunners was purchased as Mothers day gift.

 

I would love to receive such a lovely gift!

 

The retirement gift was delivered today.

 

Such a delight to see the recipients expression

 

Just my way to spread some joy...awesome!

More Houses

 

A house for Margaret

 

A house for Andrea

 

 

The joy of a long weekend is plenty of time to get creative

 

These two houses were special requests and have turned out beautifully

 

I used nails for the chimney pots and bark for the roof on the tiny birdhouse

 

The pale colors have really brought out the grain and textures in the wood

 

I hope they love them as much as I do

Quite the production line!

 

Taking advantage of a long weekend to get some orders ready

 

Am really glad that I have chosen to take pictures of the process

 

Looking at the finished product makes me very proud and I have to say the smiles I get from buyers makes the work not seem like work at all!

 

 

These lighthouses are all similar but all slightly different

It's the texture of the wood and the finish that excites me

The working light is just that little extra!

 

This mini cruise liner and lighthouse are for Sue

 

 

 

and this is a retirement gift for a friend who is an avid boater!

 

What next?

 

 

A Fathers Day gift idea. What do you think?

 



 

 

Happy Easter

 

This little Bunny was made for the Easter gift basket competition we had at work

 

Our basket won and Sarah who I work with, won our basket in the raffle

 

So glad this little fellow is going to a good home

 

Long weekend so much creating to be done!

 

 

Thank you to Wendy Kelson who sent me this picture of the light house I made for her

 

So satisfying to get feedback about my creations and the pleasure they bring

 

Enough idle chat...time to work!

 

Happy Easter
