Post Thanksgiving Post

Rabbit and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We hit the road to Amarillo, Tx. where Rabbit's oldest lives with her Marine husband.  The son-in-law's family were there also from San Antonio and Corpus Christi.  Lots of delicious food and spirits were beget after giving thanks to the Lord our God.  He has blessed us greatly.

Mom-in-law was going to join us also in Amarillo for Thanksgiving but was attacked by what sounded like "the consumption" or some other awful sickness she probably caught from the littlest grandkids...so she wasn't able to make it.
I would like to share a little guy that I made for her birthday back in October. Click on the image for a closer look.

thimble; wooden knob; wooden spool;

skeleton keys; heart charm and checkers

Now I need to get back to my online metalsmithing class I've been taking from Stephanie Lee.  I'll share the items I make from this class...that is if they turn out nicely.
