We had all the cousins together… minus Reagan who was napping… and it was time to try my Eco Dyeing! Sent to find leaves to use, it was mass chaos for a bit! Then we laid them on our cotton tshirts. Next we wrapped them tightly for the kids… Then we boiled them an hour…

I Can Share!
I did this little gem of a “spoon” for a gift. Since it’s been given and received, I can now share with you. I’m pretty happy with the results, although it was traumatic making it. In wood burning there’s really no erasing. Oh, sure, you can sand some light burns away, but that’s not very…
Working On It
What have I been working on?

Spoon Break
While I spent most of my day outside working in my garden and yard… sometimes I need a break. The dentist ended up pulling my troublesome tooth… and it aches! I should come in and clean on my house… more than likely, I sit down and work on a spoon or two, and leave the…
Spoons – Again
Spent the day sick in bed… but found more spoons to share…
