Yes, I am definitely giving up as I have now had too much.
I have come to the conclusion that gardening is overrated. I spent half of today planting seeds in pots to a total of 84 individual pots. I could have spent that time in the shed. I did, however, persuade the wife to mow the back...
A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But it was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay check.
When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his angry wife and was barraged for nearly two...
My wife enjoys this program and quite often I hear those words you can do better than that and you would make more from those pieces, quite often I miss seeing what she is talking about as I am doing something on this here computer.
Any way I did manage to see a little tonight while doing some...
A Tempest dressed in Lavender pearl.
I make a lot of these for many of my wife's friends. Purple is the associated color of the dementia groups of which my wife is an ambassador for.
This particular blank is the best yet for color variation.
Just finish this yellow pen. Turned from lime, lines burnt in with pyrography iron and veneer. Coloured with Winsor and Newton markers. The wife said it looked like corn on the cob.

Do you ever have one of those days where silliness takes over. Well today was one of those times just found the brightest colours I could and coloured the rim of this bowl. Funnily the wife loves it will have to take the white stick off of her and beat her around the head:funny:
Silly comments...
Today is our 63rd Wedding Anniversary and since our Eldest Daughter from Western Australia and 3rd Daughter from the USA were visiting we went to the Canberra Arboretum.
My wife Wilma the wraps on some of the trees most appropriate at minus 8 degrees Celcius this morning.
Kind regards...
After making a few Acrylic pens and having lots of little bits left over from trimming the ends, I decided to sand them down and glue them all together...
The end result:
After showing the wife of my little creation, (she is Quality Control) she had a good look, said thank you and walked off...
First time turning this Vanity Mirror.Has anyone any idea if they are a seller and what would you expect to sell them for. ( perhaps ask your wife etc what they would pay for one.
It was my wife's birthday a couple of days ago and she doesn't trust my present buying skills since I told her that I once bought my ex wife a tartan shopping bag for her birthday. So my new wife just orders stuff off amazon and I pay for it. However, I like to give her a surprise now and again...
Wanted to have a go at making something small so I turned this little pot from tulip wood then ebonised it with Chestnut spray. My wife thinks it is cute.

Not done much in the way of turning lately.
This is a piece that I started at the beginning of the week but went wrong a couple of times and had to repaint it. The main pod is Ash and the ring stand is cherry. The wife thought I was making a lemon well with all the problems I felt like one.
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
The dog because he shuts up after you let him in..:whistling::whistling::whistling:
........Going out to the shed it is bloody snowing here and quite a bit as well. But then I could always get my wife to clear a path to the trusty shed then I may brave it.
