This blog represents how I am spending my time during our year in Vermont. I intend to focus on my quilting and sprinkle in the highlights of this year.

April 20: Carving
For my May carving, I decided on a flower. I am thinking that I will use my Dremel to do the whole thing this time. I created my drawing about a week ago and transferred it to my wood last night.
About 7:30 this morning I started using the Dremel tool to excavate the unwanted background material. I have taken it down about 3/8". Doing that with the tool took about 2 hours. If I had used my hand tools I would still be working on this. Some days the quiet process used to remove material with a chisel feels like cheap therapy, but this carving is being done with power tools so that if I have questions, I can still talk to Terre face to face and figure out what the next step should be.
The rest of the day: Kevin is working at school until 2:00 and then we are going to the home show to investigate showers and turning an attached garage space into living space. Hopefully we will also have time to go and get that photo of the whale tails that I wrote about so often a few months ago. Time will tell. I am also going to try and squeeze in haircut, make a return, have dinner out, and just spend time talking about all of our upcoming changes. Planing to make this a great day!
