But.
This is the finished project from my Wednesday WOW last month. I really enjoyed working with the wood. I played a bit with smaller blocks but probably would not have done much more.
Except . . . I went to the Woodcarver's Show this weekend. Oh my! Oh me! Long story short, I came home with some tools and lots of inspiration. And here is what I've done in the last two days!
This guy is about 4-inches tall and made from a local type of cedar. The wood is so pretty to carve!
And this fellow is just under 2-inches and is pine, I think. The wood is softer, but it also splits very easily. That's why he's lop-sided (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). I may decide to make a body for this one.
What's next? I bought a magazine and there are some interesting Santa Clauses. Oh yes! I do have a quilt top just about finished and a few other projects on the table. I need more hours in the day. Let's see, I don't do housework or cook already. Maybe I can cut out sleeping!!!!

If only I could go without sleep I could rule the world!
The carving is coming along well .... I don't need another hobby either, and my fingers are telling me carving is not one of the hobbies I should even consider.
that first face reminds me of what I wake up to some mornings, when he really doesn't want to know it is morning!

Cool!
You are just amazing. Those are all great pieces. I'd be afraid of cutting off a finger or something!
Slow down now. Take it easy. Don't do too much at once...
Absolutely, Totally, Awesome, SIS ! ! !
You are amazing! That's one thing I could never do. Maybe it's good my talents are limited; only so many hours in the day as you say.
Oh Liz, you are clever! What a neat hobby - and why shouldn't you take up something new? You don't have to drop everything else, it is just nice to have a change from fabric and paper now and then, isn't it!
