Cindy and a cousin saw "Yard Trees" on a trip to Nashville, In.. They were priced around $100.00 at that time...They decided to make one...of course when we saw it we began talking about each making our own...While in Texas Cindy ran across a great buy on glass beads and purchased them...She divided these up and brought them to Kathy's for our monthly "Fun Meter Fill Up Meeting".
I would like to introduce our very own "Yard Tree Hero"...Pictured with his version of our "Yard Trees" is Jody's husband Bill... He always has a smile for us and a willing hand..We would need our trees to wrap the beads....So Kent, Cindy's husband cut the copper pipe for them. Cindy then took these to Bill who had made the tree branches and soldered them together for us... Bill and Kent had ready us with one for Jody, Kathy, Cindy, Rhona and Sherry...I had decided not to make one then....:0( Jody giving instructions on how to create the trees..
The girls working on theirs.
The finished tree....all day I sat there thinking wish I hadn't passed....I wanted a tree...well was I ever please when I found out they wanted more...orders place...Kent back to cutting copper poles and Bill back in his work shop making 10 tops ready for us to bead...and yes I am getting one this time...We are truly blessed women to have such wonderful men in our lives...The Ol'Blogger

In the morn'in In the even'en ain't we got fun! can't wait until our NEXT fun meter day! C
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
