Sale! Sale! Sale!

To help her husband in their wood shop where together they make beautiful furniture pieces, a creative and  crafty  friend of mine is giving up selling her unique handiwork at our shows that we have been doing together for several years.


She generously let me have her "leftovers" which I am now offering for sale at very reasonable prices ....and....ALL THE PROFIT  FROM THE SALE OF THESE ITEMS WILL GO TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY!!! 

To purchase, visit my website, http://www.wood-n-stitches.com/ and contact to let me know what piece/pieces you are interested in purchases and I will send you an invoice.  Then you may make your tax deductible check to The American Cancer Society and mail it to me.  After I receive your check, I will ship your package to you ASAP.


You may also just purchase using the shopping cart on the website, but won't get the tax deduction.


Here are some of the items.

Hope These Baseball Bat Santas Are a "Hit"

I just finished this batch of baseball bat Santas and matching baseball Santas.

Santas from Recycled Table Legs

These table legs were slanted at what was the top, so I had to get a friend to cut them off flat to get them to stand freely.

Now the top...is the bottom!

I've also added them to my website, http://www.wood-n-stitches.com/.

Finally!!! I Finished Some Santas

They've been a while in the making,  but finally I have finished my first batch of Santas for my 2010.  I've also listed them on my website, http://www.wood-n-stitches.com/.

Usually I work on 5 or 6 at the time, but for some unknown reason I started a group of 18 all at once.  I guess panic has set in since I'm so late starting my painting this year.  I'm not doing that again.  I need to see something finished soon to keep me fired up.

New Prim(ish) or Rustic Santas

The other day at the beauty shop, I ran into our local "Martha Stewart". She told me that she had planed some cypress lumber and thinking I might could use them to paint Santas on, she saved the rough end pieces. I agreed to try. I love a challenge occasionally. I went out to her house and her husband loaded them for me. Before I left, I also got to see the oak coffee table she had built after planing the boards. She had done an awesome job. Next, I was amazed at the two antique pieces she had refinished and even built a tri-fold mirror for one piece. Additionally, she had finished a replica of an antique wall clock for herself. (Sh! Don't tell anyone, but she's building some more for Christmas presents.)

Anyway, back to the Santas...here are some before and after photos. I had a lot of fun with this challenge. "Martha Stewart" gets first choice of course. More are in the works.
