I can't pick out one piece of work. They all are impressive.

I had enough 3/4 & 1/4 included with this sale so not to have to cut up any of these beautiful bricks. There were bricks by the steps which I could not replace so I just resued the old worn bricks. You can tell the worn bricks by the white on the high surfaces which is where the glaze has been worn away from foot traffic. It makes for a great "compare and contrast" when I show this installation off....

That's a beautiful walkway!

Beautiful walk way.

DW wanted a "beachy" photo frame to match our new decor. So I made this from some scraps and a piece of moulding.

First time using chalk paint. Now I need to pick up the glass, mounting hardware, and put it on the bathroom wall.

Photo is from a photographer that I'm taking a photo lighting workshop from.

I am so late to this thread - but WOW - what great work by all of you. I crochet afghans and enter them into our local fair. The are three dimensional in that the flowers or designs pop-out from the flat part. I will post some pictures later.

In any case, thanks for sharing the great work - and for that cookie maker - gorgeous and YUMMM!

Trying some laser cut jewelry. Alpacas for my wife and some friends with alpacas and Sheltie will be for a fund raiser for the rescue group we are in. They have an annual picnic and hoping to sell a dozen or so pairs there as a donation. May do some of the bigger Sheltie s as Christmas ornaments for the picnic as well. The geometric shapes aren’t my design, just a test of the hardware and laser settings.

BTW, thanks to all who post their items here for everyone to see!

I bought a checkerboard style cutting board at a charity silent auction recently. Don't ask, but it was worth it for both reasons.

Made a few more cutting boards for the Milford Oyster Fest; first time i'm putting up a tent in a craft fair. Should be interesting...

Thank you. I’ve thought about it, but with my extremely busy job, I could see myself swamped with work and orders! I like doing it on my terms for now, when i retire I’m 9 years I’ll have plenty of time!

Nice cutting boards, I’ve done some similar ones. I finished up 15 pairs of the Sheltie earrings and 20 of the ornaments for the Sheltie Rescue picnic later this month. I’ve done a few other earrings that I was asked to do since they are quick, inexpensive, and seem to be well received, did a poodle shape, a Boy Scout fleur, and several of the geometric versions.

Also did a couple of music themed ink pens to take to the artist co-op. Top one is Cocobolo and the bottom one is Walnut burl.

Made a sunglasses case for an astronaut friend of mine. When I found this fabric, I knew I had to do it & use the heartbeat looking stitch. [emoji41]

Very cool; it’s also way cool that you have a friend who’s an astronaut! Are they a current astronaut or retired?

If you worked at NASA, astronaut friends & coworkers are a dime a dozen. :-)

Very nice! I make and buy cases/bags like this for my knitting and crochet projects as well as to hold various cables for electronic equipment when traveling. There are some very unique fabrics out there like what you have above that can make these types of bags personalizable.

Wine butler for a friend, cut from Mulberry. This is how it looks right off the router, it will darken to match the color of the darker piece when exposed to sunlight. At the rate we are seeing the sun lately, this may take a while! Will laser etch a couple of glasses with the same leaf design to go with it.
