CHRISTMAS CARVINGS































I think I have photographed 99% (I am creating
new ones every day) of my Christmas carvings,
so I wanted to publish them on my blog.

ALL THE TRIMMINGS HOLIDAY SHOW THANKS

I just wanted to thank everyone who came to our show
and made it a wonderful success. It keeps growing
every year with more talented new artists as well as
our fantastic regulars, and more and more customers.
Thanks to all and have a Happy Holiday Season!

BUTTERFLIES!!!


I have had many requests from customers for butterflies
(and moths), so with the inspiration of the beautiful live
ones in my garden, I finally have pushed myself to design
the ones shown above. They were much more fun than I
thought and a lot easier too. Should have tried sooner!
They are available either hanging or standing, or for use
as a plaque.

DOG SHOW - COLLIE & HUSKY



Your choices for today are the Tri-color Collie or the
Siberian Husky. My vote is for the collie, since our
family dog is Belle, a wonderful, relaxed, yet alert
tri-color who has warned us many times when our
horse has escaped. Anyone moving too fast or not
in their normal location has to be reported to us.
