Well it’s been an interesting day, it rained, and we had a list of things to get.
Kelli had an email from Painted Farmgirl to say that the place was very busy, and to be prepared to re-stock. This word sends shivers down my spine because it means Kelli will go into a tail spin looking for new items. So desperate for product she even started priming the apocalypse piece that had been waiting in the wings gathering dust. A trip to Goodwill resulted in a few finds, some needing no attention, and a few some small rectification.
I have been working with wood most of my life, and enjoy seeing the results of a finished piece. I pride myself that I can tackle most things, and the last few weeks have proved that, but today I was handed one of the most challenging, making a new beak for a wooden bird.
Kelli had found these in a bin at Goodwill, and grabbed them, so a piece of oak and some “Bondo” and I was away.
And now the re-beaked version.
Whilst we were out, we visited a hardware store that already had its Christmas display on show. We were looking for decorations for the tree, I wondered around looking for inspiration. It was fun, the displays were bright, and reminded me of the Christmas’s of my childhood.
