I want that purse Starty. I'll arm wrestle you for it. ;)

Hi KBC. Just remember, you know what you're doing, you aren't there to make friends, just to work, finish and get paid. Be overly nice when they are around, maybe that will give them a kick in the butt. ;)

Ohhhh, I see how you work;)
K... no rants from me yet... not saying I wouldn't explode if I started... but CBW made a good point in one of her posts, and I am going to be thankful for the things that come my way and stop griping about things... (whether it is to myself or not) SO... Go with your bad self and take advantage of this great job you have, cause it is going to put money in your pocket... what happened to the furniture?

::whistles::

Very sexy starty pants ;)

SHhhhhh... its just a farkin purse;)

Furniture is still being made,just not right now, and not by me... lol

No seriously,the furniture market dried up,I sold all I made,it went so fast I thought I was going to owe a million dollars income tax... yeah right... :p

It's not in season,the furniture I make,who wants to sunbathe in November?ME just not here in Illinois.

KBC, I make furniture too. My specialty is tables, especially end tables and coffee tables. But if it's wood I can make it, providing I have the tools for the job. :)

Me... if you remember right, I thought it was wonderful and just what I needed:)
I got to get the kids to bed... its time I think;)
Night guys

Oooh, me too. Darnit, where did the time go?

I'll be back in around 1/2 hour. Hold your horses everyone, don't go anywhere. Sit, Stay! :)

I'd love to see your work.

I'm self taught, my shop is my garage, but I've been picking up tools whenever I have some extra money. Last year I got a lathe, I absolutely love it! I also got a really nice planer, that sure makes life a bit easier.

I like working with tile a lot, and I've picked up a few very nice woods to work with. My personal favorite is maple, even though it's a pain in the butt to sand smooth.

Maybe I'll post a few pics too, if you promise not to laugh. ;)

Nobody will laugh Alty! I kill them! (that's my terrorist voice... lol) I'm awaiting my keybox... lol! You guys are funny!

I WILL take credit for Starty's purse though! I maded it myself! (LOL... yeah right) No, I threatened her today, and MADE her go git it! :p Good girl Starty... good girl! Now we have one more deal right? You can post another pic after that! Hee Hee!

Laugh? At a fellow entrepreneur? Are you kidding,, I'd just as soon gag my dog with a fork... :eek:

Maple,while nice when wet for turning on the lathe, is such a hard wood to work when dry,I had a piece of old bowling alley (all maple and compressed by the many years of bowling leagues, :) )and made it into a large chopping block.Resurfacing it took just about forever.

Got to go,barn roof calling.

Be back later,

Ken

Lets see if this pic loaded .

Ohhh, there it is. Love that set Ken.
Alty, why in the world would you think people would laugh at you... I thought we cleared this subject up a while back:):) YOu post your pics:)
Friend... Oh... ;) thanks
Starby, I was going to come here and make sure the whole wide world knew you were responsible for the purse. I sure love it... thanks for the encouragement today... RP help with that too;) We will see about the other thing;) YOU FIRST!

That gave me my first good laugh of the day! Poor puppy. :( LOL! Nice work on the furniture Ken, very nice!

Morning Starty girl. ME FIRST? Heyyy, that wasn't part of the deal was it? LOL! I'm going to call this week and see if I can get in around pay day. Deal? :p

KBC, I love that set. If I owned a hotel with inside pool, you'd be making at least a dozen with foot-stools to go with it. I'd probably paint the backs in rainbow colors and the rest in burnt orange too. This is pure talent!

I love to work with soap-stone and have a few tools collected, but have no place to work in anymore. It was such fun to make something out of blocks that looked like jade, marble and even opal. The products I made have been distributed among family and friends as gifts and look super when periodically treated with sewing machine oil. I even made a few sets of ear-rings out of the jade and opal pieces which I sold along with Christmas window-color pictures.

Starby, I just love that purse. Right now, I use a black diaper bag because there is so much I have to take along, i.e. cameras, bottle of water, and more. Nobody has noticed that it is not a 'real' purse. The only thing I don't include with it is the changing mat and bottle warmer - don't need them anymore.

I was going to rant a bit here, but after seeing that furniture and purse, decided to save the rant for later.

I once made a reindeer Christmas tree ornament using 3 flat clothespins, a glue gun and some felt. Can I join the club?

OK we need to start a swap meet group,so we can barter for all the things we can make.

I can supervise and take a percentage of the proceeds(for my knee surgery)

UMMM, where might those alty projects be, now let me see??

I would very much like to critique your work... pressure building yet?? I hope not, I am not very judgmental(except where really bad information is concerned... mental health especially,OK,water under the bridge)

Start,starby,chery,thanks for the ego boost,now for alty?

Hey... I like this barter system! I'm a floral designer and wedding consultant, Alty's a woodworker and wonderful artist, and author, Rebby is a pencil and paper artist, (also a great painter), Starty is a master Baker, Judy could be our legal consultant, Chery is a master of all things, hmmm, I'm forgetting many here. We sure have some talented jewels around here. Who wants to trade what for what? LOL!

KBC, love that set, absolutely love it!

Okay, gulp. Here's some of my stuff. Be nice.
