Well, there's an unusual combination! I'll explain that title when I get to my Cutting Board. In the meantime, I wanted to show you what we did yesterday.
We decided to drive south to Coos Bay. We stopped by the Umpqua River Lighthouse to stretch our legs and to take a few photos.
then to go to walk through a shelter of woods to your formal gardens with dahlias and roses near the house.

Can you imagine living in such a place? Talk about a dream world!

What a delight to find some dahlias still blooming....
along with some of the roses.

On The Cutting Board
The title has to do with everything I have been working on this week. Oh, you already figured that out!
Okay...so here's the Witch! She is all done and ready to go. I added a piece of driftwood for a more natural look. I gave the driftwood a good scrubbing to get all the sand off of it.
I braided some fabric with twine. I thought using twine would also give the hanger a more natural look.
Sorry the pictures are not better. We are in a very shady spot. The sun never hits this site. The Witch already has a buyer, so I won't be listing her on Etsy.
Now for the Cupid/Angel and Snowman.
As I was finishing up the wall hanging, I received a request for two more custom orders. This time both mug rugs are by Nancy Halvorsen. The customer asked for a few simple changes.
The main change she asked for was to change Cupid/Angel's hair to a blonde bob with bangs and to straighten out her eyes.
I will also be making her a snowman with straight-er eyes. I told her two weeks, but I would like to ship them to her by the end of next week. Well, I better get to it!

I never thought about going to Oregon until I saw your pictures. It's definitely going on the bucket list now :)

Oh yes! Oregon has so much to offer. The rugged coast where the mountains meet the sea and central Oregon has many gorgeous blue lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and mountains to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me. I will visit and follow you too.

You spend so much attention to detail on your work. I wonder how you manage to put a price on those.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder three of my kids have settled in Oregon. There is a little something for everyone in that state.
Lovely pictures of flowers Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteHope you are better from the sinus headache when you read this.
I love lighthouses and I agree that it must be an amazing place to live judging by your photos.. Love your witchy quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love the reflection on the pond, the beautiful flowers and the tree "art".
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the fun custom orders as well :)
Florence Oregon is our favorite place to go on the Oregon coast. We just love to go camping at Honeyman State Park. We use it as a meeting place for our different family members. And who could resist going to the Caves while they are there. I envy you.
ReplyDeleteWe have been there several times since this was posted. The whole Oregon coast is one of our favorite locations to visit. I never tire of driving Hwy 101.
