Yesterday was sunny, and today we have sunshine again. But wow, it's cold out there. Seeing the sun just lifts my spirits and makes me think of how close it is getting to spring.
Wishing everyone a great weekend. Be safe. XO

Ted made a nice gift, he is very skilled. We have sunshine today, if I lived there we would go to Horton's.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peggy. He loves working in the shop making things as gifts. We love the sunshine here too...now if it could warm up. :):) Blessings, stay warm. xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat is just beautiful, Susie! He did a beautiful job on it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, he was smiling when he read the comments. Blessings, stay warm, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat is gorgeous wood! Ted did a wonderful job and I know that Heath will love it. It is bright sun here today but very cold -- in the 20s. Doesn't feel like Spring will ever get here.
ReplyDeleteKathy, Ted did love making the gift for Heath as he was using the burl piece that Heath made. Oh yes, these cold temperatures have been getting to me. I was cold all day. Blessings , xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh my gosh, this box is very nice, Susie. Has Ted ever thought of making and selling these? What a talent he has. And I've never seen wood quite like this before.
ReplyDeleteIt's still raining here and cold and dreary. Every now and then, the sun comes out and shines its face. Have a restful weekend, Susie.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, Ted's son made the resin and burl piece and Ted used it to make the box top and knife handle. Heath loved it...but I don't think he will just throw it into his tackle box. I am loving our sunshine here, it just isn't making any heat. I was cold all day . Blessings, enjoy today, xoxo,love, Suise
DeleteIt's gorgeous! What a beautiful handle and box it made. Hope that sun peeks out and warms things up! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, The sun has been welcome...it just isn't warming up much. :) Heath loved his gift and was proud his father used the burl piece he sent. It was suppose to be a fishing knife...but I think it won't be thrown into the tackle box. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow that really is nice work!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here as well but the sun is shinning. Arlene and I are getting ready for the Super bowl tomorrow. Calzones and pizza's are on the menu. Perhaps an adult beverage or two.
Boston Boy, Enjoy the bowl game...I never watch them. Your food choices sound very good. I am so thankful for our sunshine...but these bitter cold mornings make me want to stay in bed longer. :) Blessings , stay warm there, hugs for Arlene,xoxo, Susie
DeleteWOW! He made it?!?!?! That is AWESOME work their kiddo!!! ...:)JP
ReplyDeleteJP, I was amazed that Ted made the blade also. Heath was very happy to get the knife, since his burl piece was in the design and making of it. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat is awesome that he has that skill. I had to get out in the sunshine today even though it took some bundling up!
ReplyDeleteKaren, Even if we bindle up ...it's still nice to get that fresh air. Yesterday, I was cold almost all day. Ted has enjoyed all the comments form my post. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat is the most beautiful box and knife I've ever seen. Awesome skills. Have a nice weekend and stay warm. Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, I am almost as amazed that Ted made the knife blade too. He also made a knife case for Heath to show any knives he would collect. Blessings to you and hope this Sunday is a nice enjoyable day there. IT's very cold here. Thankful no snow. xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteWhat a nice box! I love handmade items! They're so sentimental! Things like this box would sell quickly!
ReplyDeletePilar, I get so tickled to receive a handmade gift. Ted has made items before and sold them at our local farmer's market...but it's hard to sell for enough to pay for the materials...you never get paid for your time. So now he just makes gifts. :):) Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a beautiful gift. I am loving the sunshine too. Not so much the cold but the sunshine helps so much. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Kris, Ted was thrilled to make a nice gift for Heath ..with the resin and burl. I enjoyed my Saturday...although I seemed to be cold about all day. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThis is really cool, lots of talent and love went into this! Cold and cloudy here all day. :(
ReplyDeleteJane
Blondie, I know this cold is bitter in the mornings. I love that Heath make the piece of burl and Ted made a gift from it. Blessings, hope you are doing great. xoxo, Susie
DeleteBut why knife? haha lol
ReplyDeleteIt's for taking along on their fishing trip. Some times they get their lines tangled in the standing trees, then must cut the lines. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a beautiful box and knife! I'm sure Heath will treasure it. And I want to know if Heath saw his shadow on February 2. ;-)) I hope you're having a lovely Sunday, Susie.
ReplyDeleteJudy, Yes, Heath did see his shadow.LOL...he loves the outdoors too. He was thrilled with the gift his father made him. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHow absolutely beautiful---such a work of art, and the loving hands which made it.
ReplyDeleterachel
Thank you Rachel for the kind comment. Heath was so excited when he saw his resin/burl piece made into the box lid and knife handle. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow! That is gorgeous! Ted is very gifted to be able to work with wood like that!! I'm sure Heath will treasure that for the rest of his life. Blessings, Gert
ReplyDeleteGert, Heath did love getting that knife. He is the one who made the burl/resin piece and Ted made the box lid and knife handle from it. Heath is into turning pieces , thanks to Ted for giving him an old lathe he had. Heath saved up and bought a wonderful lathe after he used the old one for about a year. Hope you get some sunshine. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
