the smell of sawdust



I went to Newnan this weekend to build more frames with my dad. I've always loved being in the woodshop, in fact just sweeping up the sawdust was something I liked to do. I think it had more to do with just being around my dad and spending time with him when he was working on a project. I've discovered I really love working in the shop too and that it's not just the wood working so much as it is my dad teaching me something he enjoys doing as well.

Back to the Studio


Here's a look at my latest addition to my quote list for the large format frames.
I'm back to working in my studio...yeah! I getting ready for a special show this September to benefit Rahab's Rope an organization that benefits women in India by teaching them a handcraft skill and sells their work right here in Gainesville, Georgia. The Hearts and Hands Emporium Sale will be September 19th at First Baptist of Gainesville.
I'm currently working on some birdhouses and birds to add to my collection. I've also launched a new site at http://www.aelizabeth.etsy.com/ that features my work on etsy, a web site featuring handcrafted items for sale.
I'm adding some new quotes for my frames so be on the look out the next couple of weeks as I'll be updating the web site.
