-- LEITH, SOUTH CAROLINA

Thanks you guys. I just keep trying to find projects to keep me busy through the winter. I keep dabbling here and there. Leith, thanks also for your kind words. Your wife can find my stuff on facebook. She can just go to the page and click the like or add me or whatever it is. :) I also list and sell on etsy.com- seller name is riverhouserustics. Better watch out or the wife will have you learning how to do folk painting. LOL Also, I am always looking for new ideas so tell your wife to send her ideas to me! :)

Kelly, you’re always coming up with different things to make. You have a creative mind and are quite productive and you should be very proud of your accomplishments. I like your work and I can easily see you having a shop and retail showroom right around the corner so just keep on keeping on just like you’re going and you will get there before you know it, little sister. :)

Yep, that’s a polka dot pig alright. Nice work and very creative.

there is a bit of Grunt in this one, If the pallet guys knew what you did with them bet they’d charge more for them. Individual as usual :)

Pete- I get the pallets for free. My sister finds them and brings them to me in her pull behind trailer. :)
Fred- Nice find on etsy. I have to get a table saw so I can cut nice straight rabbit lines in logs. ;) I suppose I could try the router.. but I am not that good with a router. LOL Keep sending me ideas – spring will get here eventually and then I can go outside and make some sawdust. As for now I am just making a terrible mess of my kitchen counters. :)
Charles- I think you are my best cheerleader. I on’t think I will ever have a retail store- it would be so boring to sit there and wait for someone to show up to shop. ;) But I will make my rounds trying to drum up some consignment buisness as soon as I have enough inventory. Because I use all reclaimed junk wood, and then attempt to hand paint on it this stuff takes longer to do than one would imagine. I can tell you this- on a good day it comes out to about a penny an hour. HAHA…

You need to send a link to my stepmom! – i never thought i’d find your etsy…my daughter and i finally found it -but send it to me again -we were on Laurel’s computer.
-i’ll send you some pics of my renovated laundry room!

Kelly, I was thinking more along the lines of one connected to your workshop so I suppose it would be more like a showroom or gallery and not a store. However, I do believe that you have a lot of potential and your rustic furniture is fabulous. Everyone who comes into my home loves the footstool that you made for me. You just need to get your shop set up first and get some more tools to make what you do a little easier and that will give you even more time to be creative. God Bless you, little sister. :)

Aha Charles.. I see. Well that may be a possibility down the road – A little show room inside the shop… when I have a shop.. hehehe
