Driftwood Projects

Those of you who follow me...know hubby is a collector...and one thing he collects is driftwood. He has worked on a couple projects with his collection...

 The pieces are attached with wooden dowels.

He wanted to preserve the driftwood...so he purchased a natural oil...and was hoping the colour didn't change....

 It darkened them... I think the 'bird like' one lost some of it's unique markings...but he is enjoying working with the wood!

Glad he is 'using' his collection pieces...he has also made one more Driftwood ladder.

Projects I'm working on....

Being south means having more time to do the things I rarely have time to do at home....

Projects

Life here in the south is busy...but I still find time to do some crafty things....

I just completed toque number 3...I hope to make 3 more...
.................... they will be Christmas 2014 presents....

On the note of toques.... there are a lot of people down here who have know idea what a toque is.... Maybe it is just a 'northern' word??

I also started on my Christmas Ornaments....click here for more on these ornaments.

I'm down to only making 5 this year...and I have one completed!

We have had a very warm January  and are enjoying every minute of it!!... It is hard to believe January is coming to an end....
