My sister and I always entered the hard toy section (in a girls school, no many did)For 10 years we always managed to get at least the top two prizes. The skills learnt from my father have always been invaluable. Now my sons, one a computer programmer and one with mental disability have both imbibed the skills and ability to 'find a way' to do things.<br />Good for you.<br />Is there any demand for cherry wood, it seems a waste to burn it.?<br />Kathy<br />walking in beauty carmarthenshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353481918125809808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-19309622426537455432020-10-05T08:43:48.927+01:002020-10-05T08:43:48.927+01:00Her life skills far exceed mine already!Her life skills far exceed mine already!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558054295759199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-75551029473807588482020-10-05T06:08:41.958+01:002020-10-05T06:08:41.958+01:00Kev that's a spectacular beehive in the backgr...Kev that's a spectacular beehive in the background of the first photo. Is it in use? I can't sing your praises enough for including your daughter so naturally in workshop time. It's not just the practcal skills but the developing ability to thing out processes and feel the elation of having created. I grew up in a family like that and the life resources if provides cannot be bought. (F)Tigger's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829665785202495073noreply@blogger.com
