Day 4-
and yes all the easter eggs have been eaten! : P
SO first task of the day was to find a new steel supplier and coke supplier..... long phone calls and didnt really get very far.
However good news- my friend had spotted my custard cream.... on BBC SNOOKER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!! it took me ages to find it but I finaly got this pic..

Aslo new commission today_ a traditional canal boat hook! it looks really good and im very excited about this! so much so im going to make it tomorow!

Was watching something on the old TV last nite about Habitat and Liberty choosing their new ranges..... I have now set the task of going next year..... I just need to think of any ideas! any one with any old catalogues, sling them my way please! : ) Im thinking my antlers as they are going to be a big hit in Country homes and interiours!

now im looking at pocket watches so that I dont feel left out at the next victorian steam in at Claymills! : )
Next commission and quotes- Keddleston Hall boot scrapers...
it was snowing the last time I was there! cold but very pretty!
