Happy St. Pat's........

This is my only saint patty's day decor.  Ted has been making these wooden platters. We are calling them bread platters. I'll post this week , some of the things he has made for the Farmer's Market, coming up at the end of next month. That Ted is one happy man while he's making saw dust.:):)
 Now he has even found a way to recycle the saw dust. If no walnut is in it ...it can be put into compost , in moderation. He can make fire starters with it now.  You pack saw dust into a bathroom dixie cup, then drizzle canning wax in it. This is way cheaper than buying fire starters. I tell you, that man is handier than a shirt pocket. :):)

  1. 'appy St. Paddy's Day, Lass! Love the bread platter. What is it about saw dust that men love so much? Brings out the creative little boy in them, I guess. Have a great green day! -- Jan

  10. Hooray for recycling saw dust.

    Woodworking is great. Husband has been one, all his life.

    But saw dust on the garage/shop floor, can get tracked in the house. Eeeeek! -grin- Gather it up and use it some way.

  11. "Handier than a shirt pocket!" I love that. I'll have to remember that one for my husband and sons as they all are so handy too. Right now they're inside here painting!
