That’s right guys, a 20” RBI Hawk !!! Made in the good ole USA !! I found this on craigslist for $100. I couldn’t get there fast enough. I even got the magnifier light and lots of extra blades. Apparently the man I bought it from bought it intending to make wooden toys and decided scrolling wasn’t his thing, and just wanted it out of the garage. Lucky for me !! Well I need to get back out to the shed and make up for lost time without a saw. It’s great to be back. Terri Lynne

Held at the CC Marina on the bay. The setting was spectacular with the bay on one side and the boat docks lined with sailboats and yahts on the other. The staff at the Marina did a terrific job of organizing and advertising and the turnout of both venders and customers was great. They threw this whole thing together in just 5 weeks! They will be having this event the first saturday of every month and it can only get better. We will be going back! It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze coming off the water and sailboats cruising the shoreline. A helpful hint to keep cool in the South Texas heat is to dip a bandana in your ice chest and tie it around your neck to cool off.

As a backdrop to our booth we had the Nina. A replica of one of Christopher Columbus’ ships. Spain built replicas of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria to commemorate the 500th aniversary of his 1492 exploration of the “new world”. They sailed these 3 ships across the ocean in 1992 and at the end of their journey gave the ships to the city of Corpus Christi as a gift. The Santa Maria and Pinta are drydocked at the museum for repair. The Columbus Sailing Association has taken on the task of restoring all 3 ships and building a seaport at the marina to display them and hopefully to be able to sail them in the bay for tourists and locals. That’s a trip I would love to experience!

Yesterday we (MichaelA and myself) Had our booth set up in Rockport for market days. This was our 4th show in 8 months. We did really well at the first 3. The bad news is we sold absolutely nothing yesterday. The good is the attention that Michaels’ Octopus and shark carving got! We placed it in the front corner of the tent. This thing truly is a monster! It takes both of us to pick it up. It’s 38 inches tall and 48 inches at the widest point of the bottom. I would say that 90 % of the people who passed by stopped and stared at it. I can not count the number of wows, oohs and ahhs it got. All the children were mesmerized and couldn’t help but touch it as well as alot of adults. It was a conversation piece with everyone asking questions about it. I believe it stole the show and as wonderful as all the complements were, hindered our sales as all eyes were on that one piece. If we would have charged admission we would have done well. Note to self…..maybe at the next show we should put it in the back of the tent, after all the first rule of business is… Location,location, location.

I’m quite pleased with the results. My 3 horses took 3rd and my celtic cross 2nd in the woodworking class.
My clydesdale head took 3rd in the scrollsaw class.

Mike took 2nd in novice human with Sammantha.

I got a few pics of the show. There were some really nice pieces here. My favorite was the fish carved by an older gentleman. He had 2 entered in the competition and also had a vender booth set up.
We had a fun day and met some really nice people. Of course winning a few ribbons was the icing on the cake!
