Eight Maids a hanging

Hey there I guess there's no fighting the holiday season. I have been busy in my workshop/dining room creating and creating some more.




Here are some photos of the 8 Maids a Milking tree ornaments. I made them for this years Christmas Tree Elegance tree (http://www.spokesmanreview.com/news-story.asp?date=112402&ID=s1258289) going up at the Davenport next week. I also did the tree skirt but I haven't taken any good photos of it yet so look for that soon.

Not exactly a blaze of glory

Hi everyone,

Life has a way of turning things on it's ear sometimes. Maybe so you can see things in a new perspective. Maybe not but why not be philosophical...it's my blog I'll allow it.

Here's the scoop...Richard's place of work and his livelihood was totally destroyed in a fire Monday night. No one was hurt but for those of you with spokes in your heart this will hurt.
Here are the photos.
