I am still standing but Idaho passed out!

After work I spent a  total of  6 hours in the shop today , cleaning  wire and welding, grinding , welding and more grinding. If  my shop mate and  not been  tired from a  long day at work I  might still be at the  shop working.  I no longer weld if I am alone. ;-(           […]

and another 4 hours

Cleaning wire  and welding  one wire at a time. Idaho is a  day closer to being  finished. I think I will let him  sit on  display for a week or  two while I make plans to get  him to  his new home. 

five more hours …

of cleaning wires and then adding them to  Idaho. Brad took a short video today we ill get it uploaded later. 

Back Home

  This weekend  Peter and I  went to  Prosser Washington.  We had  planned to go to the  fly in  but we just had too much to do. We  did  enjoy the  annual wine gala and art walk and  the company of good friends. We did manage to  stop off for lunch at the  Horse Heaven […]

Idaho update

For the birds

I have been making art out of old  world war ll Holitzer missile  container cases for almost five years now. It is  wonderful when I find  people  who love them and want one in their garden.  

Summer is almost here!

I had friends over for wine today and since it was so nice outside we wanted to sit out back. I  needed a  table so I filled my  Native Stone Concrete pot with corks and  put a  piece of glass on top.  If you are interested in concrete items give me a shout!

Irish Scones

For some strange reason when I feel under the weather I love to bake. Maybe its because fresh  baked  treats  remind me of my childhood. I decided to treat myself to something  sweet while still  staying on a fairly low fiber diet for next weeks  procedures. Irish Scones Ingredients: 3 cups flour                         ¾ cup sugar […]
