The Knotty Elm

Well I’m getting better. That hat was totally done by memory.

Started a new hobby. Wanted something not dirty, portable and cheap. It sure beats scrolling endlessly on the interwebs.

Christmas decoration made by my aunts and uncle over 50 years ago. My grandpa made “mosquito” houses with them. Cute little project for scraps of wood.

Had a customer order from a client who took down a walnut tree from a family farm. I love nature.

South Dakota trip was what we needed. Saw the bad lands, stopped and got a donut at wall drug, saw George Washington and his friends, bison and prairie dog galore, fed wild donkeys, took and cave tour, did an alpine slide, did some swimming and found out that the Alpine Inn Hill City is amazing for lunch too.

Come meet the artist at Excelsior Apple days.

Come join me at Excelsior Apple days.

Come join me at the Edina Fall into the arts. Beautiful weather.

Finished up this beech bowl tonight. Come on and buy it this weekend at the Edina Fall into the Arts.

I can’t believe my oldest started kindergarten today. It feels like yesterday I was bottle feeding her at 3:00 am.

Another successful trip to the state fair. Avoided the kidway at all cost. Very successful idea. Blake and Reed were troopers. They also got to go with cousins. The adults got to go@to the Ja Rule and Nelly concert.
