CHRISTMAS POEM , BY ARLEEN ZOMER ,,
twas the night before christmas and all through the house,
a carver was carving , and quiet as a mouse

late at night , all you could see ,
was a light on in the shop where the carver would be,

basswood in one hand and a knife in the other
a gift it would be for sister or brother,

the carver kept working late into the night
knowing all to well it would soon be light

when the carving is done he looks with delight
to be able to give it away to someone tonight

and the smiles it will bring to the ones that he gives ,
the carver will cherish it as long as he lives
merry christmas,

lol bear attacked ,, by zoe the dog,,

i gave a holiday  bear to a friend a couple of years.... and their dog zoe got a hold of it,, i thought it was beyond repair  so my solution was below,, she was happy to get him back, lol

christmas is almost here , some update

hi everyone ,, as christmas will be here in a few days,, the season of santa carving comes to another close,,, it been a good month,, i enjoy seeing some of the local folks stopping in ,,  and also having set up at 4 street cafe,,  and will again in jan,, looking forward to having some new classes this winter,, starting jan 17th,, with the pinecone class for beginners,,   selling some tools now which i didnt do before but thought it was time to at least sell what i use,, and so things keep moving forward, and some of last carving for this year,, i had fun,,  :)

hi folks i have my sitting bald headed santas, ( coffee santa,) my sister was here for a visit and ask if i could make one holding a wine bottle,, so i made two for her they went to canada, lol the one with the coffee cup with a windmill went to my uncle in holland ,, my holland coffee santa,, many folks seem to like them,, they were fun to do along with some new style santas,  from the past but added much more detail then my very first santa,, i enjoy making them,,now to paint them
