Terry and David have spent the morning learning how to etch the beautiful custom hunting knives they have been making for the last few weeks. They use all sorts of exotic woods for the handles and some of the handles have coral, turquoise or other types of embellishments in them to add to their uniqueness and beauty. A web page is being made by one of our sons. I am sure it will be spectacular. The funny part of this is our house has become a factory. They do the dirty work in the garage, the finishing at the kitchen table and the etching at the kitchen counter. I talked to Laura about having my home and visiting teachers meet us at her house as mine will probably never again be neat and clean. Of course I add to the confusion with my beading, painting, crocheting and knitting projects. Oh yes, Terry still makes his one-of-a-kind embellished gourds. It is Saturday morning and I am still trying to figure out what to do next...hmmm....clean house? do laundry? or start another project? Guess I will do the project...a baby quilt for my niece's first baby...Yep, that's what I'm going to do.

  1. Working on a project is better than cleaning, in my book.

    The knives look awesome.

  4. I just showed Colton - his response was, "Wow! Does it close . . . do you think Papa is done with mine yet?" The expression on his face was pure delight! As Nana and Papa know, he is obsessed with knives!!! For anyone that reads this, please say a pray for Colton's fingers . . .and my nerves!!! :-)
