How it all began

I think the creative side of me was inherited from my Mother and perhaps her father (“Gramp”). As the youngest of four boys I tinkered with wood. My Mother was very passionate about embroidery and knitting. She liked to collect novelties like sewing gadgets, thimbles, and special knitting needles. Her father, “Gramp”, made her a box for her sewing needles. It was crafted by hand much like the Pilgrims of Plymouth had done using an exposed end grain design.  Gramp inserted a handmade aluminum panel in the top with holes that would suspend her needles inside the lid. I still have that box today. It was a replica of a larger hope chest that Gramp made for her when she was a young mother. I still have that hope chest. My contribution was to take an old hub cap from my oldest brother’s car and the base of a round wash tub to use as a template to make a half moon “knick knack” shelf with half moon shaped mini stairs to hold mother’s thimbles.
