Even on a Slow Day!

This summer I was experiencing severe "Wishing Hole" withdrawal when out of the blue came two table-tops, no legs, just tops. I knew immediately what I was going to do with them. I could see flags in the making!






I put the project on hold because I had so many things going that I didn't have room in my studio for such large pieces. Yesterday I cleared the way for the first one, and I am so excited with the results that I am not waiting for the second one to be completed before the "big Reveal" Here is my flag...

Scarlett's Birthday Party Surprise

The day that I found the rocking Ottoman, and at the time that Brett and I made our "Cruise Through The Hole" video, he found a precious, very used, child's tree swing-chair. He was behind me, scrounging around while I was finishing the video, when he said, "What do think about this?" Well, I just about screamed, "Scarlett will love it!"


The day it came home from the "Hole"

Obviously well used!

Patch job complete!

First step of renovation - sanding

New Paint!

New safety bar, made from Bamboo! And new hardware

Hardware installed

New rope

Rigged and ready!
I renovated the chair-swing for her big 2nd  birthday party. I sanded it down and put on a coat of brand new bright red paint.

It took some thinking about how to place the brand new rope. But with some engineering we figured it out!  Sunday is the day of the party, and after it is attached to the apple tree next to their condo-let the party begin!

Happy Birthday, Scarlett!
