Ironing Board for Quilting

I wrote a blog back in 2008 about making an ironing board for quilters.  I had trouble locating it because it was in the Rapid City Woodworkers Association blogsite.   So to make it easier to find, here is a link to it:

Projects in December 2015

Since we finished making toys in mid-November, we had time to make some gifts for grand-kids and mail them before Christmas.











We made a Trash truck for Tyler




A VW Car Carrier for Mason



A car pulling a trailer with a boat on it for David




An airplane for Mason, Tyler, and David






A Hippo and a  Turtle for Abby and Naty


Teethers for Naty



Manger Scenes with all characters for Amie, Matt, and Josh - using tree branches from prior year's Christmas trees.






Abigail's Birthday is in January, so here's Noah's Ark complete with animals and birds and its carrying case:

Decorations - 2015

Kathie had more time for decorating the inside of the house this year, because we finished toymaking by the middle of November.  I had more time as well, to decorate the outside.  Wish you were here to see it all, but if you aren't nearby, here's a look.
