House Elf Gets a Friend

The first house elf, Dobby from the Harry Potter stories, inspired others in our craft group to try their hand at crocheting in 3 D. This is not easy when it comes to making a face, ears, eyes, mouth, etc. The fact that these two elves came out looking quite different shows that working without a pattern can be pretty challenging. There were many rip-outs and re-designs, and there will be more to come. The reactions from friends and family has been mixed. We in the group think they are adorable and others do, too. But we have also heard...."creepy". To know the Harry Potter story is to know Dobby. Dobby is free! .... and will keep inspiring some of us for a long time.

Rustic Tables

Three tables from one board. The table tops were cut from one slab and the legs were added by Josselyn's in Jeffersonville, NH in Sept.Then we stained and urethaned them. Not only does Josselyn's stain and caulk log houses, they build rustic furniture, and rent out cute rustic cabins. Our house will finally be stained and caulked after 8 years! Not bad.
