Windy days in Iowa!

It's so windy here that there is an advisory on the HIGHWAY! The crosswinds apparently blow trucks over onto their sides. ( we have seen this not once...but twice!) All I know is that the winds are Strong enough to blow pieces of my car off! Now it might be true that the Subie is an old-ish car, but when the wind blows off cosmetic stuff that is hooked in a aerodynamically sealed. well lets just say that one takes notice. The task now is to find a way to put it back on and keep it on. The wind has not died down, so I have a while before I try anything. Cheryl suggests some epoxy that is slow to set up. I can't simply reattach it because all the plastic screws are broken. I'll keep you posted with updated pics when I figure it out. ( sorry....No Duct tape!)

Cleaning up the folds with sanding...

I didn't carve yesterday but I did manage to get pretty far tonight. I worked on cleaning up the folds in her dress and sanding a little. There is still some folds on the other side that have to be taken care of as well and sanding. I even worked on her face a little while I had the sanding equipment out. As you can see, Red the shop cat had to make sure that he was in my way as much as possible. Overall, even though the pics are not very good with her on the table. I think she is turning out pretty good. Cheryl says the hair should be a similar style as her dress, but I'll face that problem when I get to that part. For now...enjoy the pics!

Some new seats

Tonight I carved up two seats. It will take a little creative assembly to fix it up, but we are seeing if they will have potential. Yesterday I was busy cleaning up my room and setting up a new peg board. Not much has changed except that I cleaned the stain and poly off the windows and floor! It probably won't last long though. We are trying yet another scheme to see if we can branch out.
