Hand Made Things


About twelve years ago, Day made clip sticks--one of the many things she made to sell at a crafts fair.  They were made for children for displaying their art work, and she personalized them with the name of each child. On the back, she wrote a message to the child about being an artist, and she signed her name, Day.

Now she is teaching high school English in Falls Church, Virginia.  One of her students announced that the above clip stick, which has been in her room since she was about five, was made by her new English teacher!


This is Debbie's bird house--made by a man in Hartwell and painted by Debbie.  The maker of the houses has decided to retire, but Mike asked him to make one more--which I'll be getting for my birthday.


And this is a swing made by Will for our little Elena.  I can't look at this face without smiling.
