Christmas Trees Galore

My husband has been busy making Christmas trees on the lathe! Look for some soon in his Etsy shop!  They make a great teacher or friend gift. They look great on your tree, too!

New Teleidoscope at my Hubby's Etsy Shop

I just had to share this awesome teleidoscope and really cool stand that my husband just posted on Etsy today!  He posted one earlier in green and red, and it sold within hours! Yay These make a really good Christmas present for someone who has "everything."  It is especially popular with men who have engineering brains but is popular with everyone of all ages!!!!! Check it out!

Thanks for looking!

Is this too fun for Halloween lovers, or what???

Halloween Ball Point Pen - Laser Cut "blank" and Hand Turned by Steve Massman

I haven't felt very craft this week. I've been a little under the weather. So, I thought I'd share this cool Halloween pen that my husband made and has up for sale on his Etsy shop!

Well, since I haven't been crafty

I thought I'd show you some of my husband's latest creations!

Dragonfly

I helped my husband design this one! He turned each sized dowel separately and then inlaid them in the beautiful platter that he made on the lathe!!!!

I have to show off some of my husband's latest work!

Click on the photo to be taken to the Etsy shop!

Edited:  These could even be worthy of Martha Stewart???

A card

I made this card for my friend Stacy's challenge over at Sketches 4 All.

Here is a picture of me starting to get our Christmas decorations out! I haven't gotten very far, and I started over a week ago!

And, finally, here are some ornaments, bowls, pens, candles, and wine stoppers at my husband's booth at the show last weekend.
