Sept from Jacqueline.

 

This is from new exchanger, Jacqueline, who signed up again in October. I'm intrigued with her penmanship on the note she enclosed. If I get another note from her, I might post it or I guess I could post the one that came in September. Charlotte's Web is such a nice book. It's one of the first books I remember reading that gave me that feeling that comes with a really good book...the feeling that the book is so good it will be impossible to find another book that will be as good. That still happens

*** below was written about a week ago.

It's 4:30 PM and I put in a long day at the sweat shop. That's what I call the space where the 24 nichos are being assembled. I finally started the very last one which is the Tree of Life. The goal is to make it out of all the scraps from the other nichos - but have it look like something better than a heap of scraps. My sister-in-law has been helping a lot and she expressed serious doubts that we could pull this off. Her task was to cut all the leftovers into 1" strips. 

Here is the inspiration tree.

Below is the one I would have made if I had time.
