Wooden cutlery

I have spoken to you all before about the amazing things my Dad does with wood - well these are his latest creations! Aren't they fantastic! Every time I go home it seems he has made something new - he comes skipping down from the shed to show whoever is about what he has made! 

He knows I show you some of things on the blog and he thought you would all like to see these. 

Each time I see him he also asks about my followers - so I give him a little update and let him know whats going on!! It is really nice!

Wooden animals

Do you remember when I showed you a little wood elephant my dad had made? Well here a few more photos of some of the things he has made! He loves hearing what you all think!

A three legged stool, I love the pattern in the wood - I think it looks like an owl

The owl is one of my favourites - so simple and very tactile! Remind me and I will show you the pig I helped make! And lastly, below are some hamster coffins! It all started years ago when we were younger and we had our first pet hamster - unfortunately Fred died and my dad made a little coffin for him from some off-cuts of dado rail, so when last year I got flurry he started making them again.

Elephants and chilli jam

This little elephant has be hand carved by my very talented dad! I talk to him about my blog and he asks me how many followers I have regularly and what sort of things I have been putting up (he is not at al technologically minded and would not be able to load the internet up on a PC!!) ad how many followers I have - he thought you would all like to see one of his little crafty makes and so here it is in all its glory (well as good as I can get when I take pictures on my phone) I have included an essential bum shot for you all!

He makes many things and I am very lucky to have benefited from his craft with purpose built shelving, hand crafted pigs and wooden picture frames! I will show you all some more things if y0u would like to see (I am trying to persuade him to make a penguin next, seeing as he continually says no to my reindeer suggestions!)

We made Nigella's chilli jam a couple of weekends ago - it is the best I have had - I would recommend it to anyone, very easy to do as well!
