Long Weekend

 

Post vacation I've had a few things to be getting ready

 

Lighthouses? What is the attraction with lighthouses?

 

A small one with working light and a 3' one for the garden!

 

Whatever floats your boat (PUN intended)!

 

 

This lovely plaque is awaiting approval from the buyer and

 

 

this is a gift for a birthday, but who is the recipient?

 

Later

 

 

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!

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?

 



 

 

Midweek Update

My hard work at the weekend paid off and I was able to deliver this lovely Lighthouse on Monday

It has sparked a lot of interest indeed I have orders for two more!

 

This was a custom make for a lovely lady in Clacton-on-Sea, UK

It is now flying Airmail to her door

I love the little outhouse, which was her request!

 

 

I refer to this as Lynn's house as I made it to display the wicked teeny tiny blankets that she knitted for me

 

 

.....and finally for today, my friend Dallas took this shot of "Buoy oh Buoy" which I made for her birthday. It is now hanging proudly at her home...awesome!
