Lightning, that is.  We drove back up to Pendleton last night, and got to Indiana just in time for the light show.  The lightning was totally unrealistic, with bolts stretching across the sky and lasting up to 4 seconds.  Had some Night-into-day bolts, and several where the the lightning slowly progressed along it’s path, kind [...]

This is normally a lid for a 6″x6″ dog box.  However, at the Grand Rapids Agility Club show a lady asked for just the lid. She liked it with the stained glass behind. So, I grabbed a piece of blue stained glass (I could write off the sales tax right then according to the form).  [...]

Amongst other stuff today I wipped up a quick Scottie pot ornament pattern and cut out 6 of them.  Not much, but it does give something else to sell this coming weekend.  Here is what he looks like:
Since it’s a pretty easy pattern too make, I went ahead and published a pattern here.  If you’re [...]

We’re still cranking out Scottie jewelry.  We put together another 8 sets of earrings, and started on some necklace/barrettes.  No pictures this post, but we’re “standardizing” on 3 crystals for the earrings.  The scotties for the necklace or barrettes (they use the same scottie) have a single clear rhinestone for the eye and 6 colored [...]

Today we spent pretty much the whole day experimenting with dog jewelry.  Got a Scottie show coming up, you know .  Anyway, lest start off with the 2″ Scottie.  We got some of the clear 1.8mm rhinestones, and used a cyanoacrylate glue to attach them to the walnut.  The stones look nice, but I [...]

After today’s Scottie puzzle marathon (I had an order for 12 puzzles), I whipped out these Scottie earings. Why sassafras? Why not walnut? Well, I had some butterflies being cut, so there was a ready-made stack of 1/8″ wood.  Just plop the pattern in the waste, cut with a #1 blade, and instant Scotties!
The dog [...]

Since we were going by Sisters in Pendleton (where I have a few items for sale), I quickly put together the barrette parts I had cut out the night before. Of course I got the barrette upside down! (I don’t actually where them ).  Didn’t find it out until the lady at Sisters tried [...]

I’ve been planning on doing this for a while, but being so simple it keeps getting put off.  Finally, I resawed some 3/16″ walnut and grabbed one of the pieces and made some blanks.  This is a simple scottie outline; I’ll be putting magnets on the back and will be selling them in the $5 [...]
