Friday in Focus: Freshly-Dyed Wool Drying on a Rack

The dye was sandalwood.

Ironwork Photos

Unfortunately, it's quite rare that I take photos of Jeff's ironwork -- usually, he makes something for commission and it's gone before we think to document it!  Here are a few photos of pieces he's made in the past few months...

Friday in Focus: Raindrop

Jeff Loves His Drawing Class

Jeff taught a blacksmithing class this morning and then took his own drawing class this afternoon.  We are really trying to make the most of the winter "off season" to learn new things.

Finishing a Trivet

When Jeff worked at Colonial Williamsburg over Thanksgiving, he made a very nice trivet.  Today, he finished the piece.  It looks great!  And, as I type this, he's got the power hammer going for the 1st time....

Fun Friday Projects

I could chat about my legal work (actually, I can't chat about that)...but it's more fun to show you my other projects from the morning:

Friday in Focus: Stairway, Railing, and Shadows

New Soap Available at AHS

Yesterday, I dropped off three batches of soap for the AHS' River Farm Gift Shop.  The three types are: Lemon/Rosemary, Lemongrass/Tea Tree/Lavendin, and Lemongrass/Tangerine.  I think I am partial to the Lemon/Rosemary but they all are very nice, refreshing combos for the New Year!  The store is open Tuesday through Friday....
