Justina's Belly Dancing Bachelorette Party and Shower

It was a fun group of great girls, we had an awesome time!

Justina is awesome and I'm glad we got a chance to tell her
and celebrate her coming nuptials!
Hey! Stop pinching me!

Rare Secret Weapon

I love to brag about Chris, so it's extra exciting when someone else brags about him! This picture and quote are taken from the blog of a woodworker Chris has been working with.

" I had the privilege to host the Philadelphia Museum of Art's secret weapon, carver/conservator Chris S. a few weeks ago. Chris isn't just an expert carver, he's intimately familiar with 18th c work and especially familiar with Philadelphia work. Chris is a fantastic source for not only how to do it, but also specifically what was done. This makes him particularly rare. These two bits of information are more typically found in two different people (expert period woodworkers for the how, and furniture curators for the what). So it was with great pleasure that Chris agreed to visit my shop and let me painstakingly photograph him carving a Philadelphia style ball and claw foot. I'm looking forward to sharing what I learned from Chris in an upcoming issue of your favorite woodworking magazine."

Window Kitties

This one is just scary, so I had to put it up.

Before I took the picture they were facing the window
with their heads resting against each other.
It was so cute I almost passed out.

Big Yawn!
