1. Please tell us a little bit about yourself.

2. What are some of your interests ?

I like camping, fly fishing, and saltwater fishing. Also, my grandkids.

3. How did your interest in woodworking start ?

I saw a magazine on scroll saw woodwork and so I learned how to do it.

4. Why do you like doing scroll saw woodwork ?

I like the challenge that scroll saw woodwork brings. To me it is very relaxing and in general I like working with wood.

5. What are your most favorite pieces that you have done and why?

All of the pieces I have done are my favorite because I cut them out. I like talking to God when I am working on the woodwork because I know he is helping me.

Grandma's Corner

Grandma's Corner

This is a new addition to our store that we are very excited about.

This last week, we kicked off Grandma's Corner with 22 handmade, hand sewn elk and deer hide leather pouches. Grandma's leather pouches are all different. There are no two alike. Using her imagination and fabulous crafting skills, she creates each pouch and adorns them with different things to make them unique.

Grandma's Corner has also added Smudging Feathers. These feathers have hand painted or leather wrapped handles. She adds beads and other things to the feathers to make each one different and unique. There are no two feathers alike.

You will also be able to find white sage and abalone shells that can be used for smudging.

What is smudging ?

Native Americans used smudging to cleanse and purify the body of negative energy. They did this by using the smoke from herbs such as sage. You can use smudging for your body, for an object, or for even a room or new house.

Check out Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork Store and see the new category Grandma's Corner. Also make sure and look at all the handmade scroll saw woodwork.

Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork has been promoting on many different sites. We have pages on myspace, facebook,hubpages, helium zone, several directories and our newest place is Plumdrop. This is a nice area to promote and meet other sellers and hopefully buyers. There is a link for Plumdrop on the side of this blog that will take you there if you want to see Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork on Plumdrop.
