Carving out a Happy Place

Life got in the way of my sewing plans, so I am sharing some of my co-worker's creations.  Part of what took up my sewing time was working on his website. Yes, I am his webmaster -woo woo! In total I manage 3 websites not to include this blog. The three are completely designed by me.  I will tell you, it is a lot of work.

Here is the scoop:  Whittler's Hollow Creations is the creative effort of T. Nelson Robertson Jr.  I must tell you that Mr. Robertson is my friend and co-worker.  I tell him that he doesn't charge enough for his work.  Carving the cypress knees into these figures and finishing them is truly hard work. He loves it as much as I love to sew. So we understand each other.   Here are two of the figures that I placed on the website this evening:

The one on the left has a purple robe (it is a warm purple and looks almost burgundy in the picture.)  The one on the right is in a red robe and wears a bishop's mitre (hat.)  These are my two favorites from this years collection.  But they are all lovely. These Father Christmas carvings certainly make me happy.  I have a collection of them.  My Nana will get one as her Christmas present, but I can't post that one here - she might look!

Go to the 2009 Collection from Whittler's Hollow and see them all.  They usually sell out rather quickly.
