Things for Tuesday....


 The squirrel did discover the new tray feeder yesterday. It didn't fall off with his weight on it so the thing is secure. 

A project started as I needed to do something. It is of scrap wood. The best parts are from old drawers and  i believe they are made of birch.

The pine supports are left natural and the birch pieces were finished with paste wax.  I have about four coats of the wax on them.  I apply it with fine steel wool allowing it to dry out between coats. I rub polish between coats to help get the wax into the wood. 


I installed it this morning after moving things around on the wall.  It is now surprise that I didn't make it big enough for the collection. It happens too often. The three that don't fit on it are plae elsewhere. 


II really didn't have room for the shelf to be any longer so all is just going to have to be good. It is our oldest grandson's birthday today.  He turns 8 today.  He has really grown up fast. His photo is on the side of the screen. What I can also share is his gift from us.


AJ is a lego man so he gets one of these for his birthday. It is hard to find new ones for him as he already has a lot of lego things. The X-wing will be a hit for him.  Thanks for stopping by today.
