We can make stuff.


One of my favorite things about being here is the space for creative freedom. Every winter I am inspired by people like Ruby and Jenna, who whip out the yarn and needles and make stuff. Often in our fast paced society I think that art such as that is lost because we simply don't have time.

Here, it's totally different.

The boys are REALLY good at what they do, and Scotty and I are learning a ton. One of the cool things is that we are new here and every time I see the boys make a product I think about some of the other possible products that could be made.

Here are some products that Scotty and I made start to finish. The cool thing about ALL these products is that we both did stuff on them--it wasn't one person doing all the work (though Scotty did a lot, because the table saw is LOUD) but it was more of a team effort.

Hope you enjoy.
