Three Bird Spoons

So, when working at Second Nature Entrada we taught the kids to make spoons out of wood to eat with. It was a sign of taking care of yourself and learning a new skill so you weren't so reliant on others. And it just pissed them off sometimes ;) As many things go, I learned by teaching. I had never made a spoon in my life either! But after working out there for 2 years, spoon making became something that I truly enjoyed and did to relax, even in my off time.

That has continued since moving back to the southeast, although I have had to adjust to a different palet of woods to work with. A great surprise came when my parents bought 52 acres and we discovered cedar that is a deep dark purple! I was so excited. The spoons that we've made are so beautiful! The Lord provided!!

My family has been encouraging me about my spoons and loves getting them as gifts. Lately they have been telling me that I need to start selling these, and have a little side business. So, I decided to do that! The problem is, is that I have started making more and they have been wanting them!! Ha, I guess I will just keep going and make more so that they can have some and I can sell some!!

So, if you know anyone who wants a custom spoon, let me know!!

I will post some pictures later!!

Double Washburn Win!

Jeremiah and Dad have both been NFL coaches for a season and 5 games now, and i think we have had one weekend where both teams have won. It happened for the second time this last weekend when the Lions killed the Rams and the Titans beat a tough Cowboys team.

It is hard to explain the pure joy of a Double Washburn Win. Both of them work so hard day in and day out. Jay is getting his coaching legs and dad is working with only one good one, so they def work their butts off, so it is special that they can both celebrate together...well at least on the same day!
