Mark the toy maker...

For those of you who have known us a while you know Mark used to do a lot of wood working but hasn't done much in years. Well, he bought a new saw and has been making things for the boys and teaching them a little. This makes me happy. I always hoped he would be inspired to take it up again even if only in a small way. Here are his latest projects. He did two and alex did one. Guess which one Alex made...

He probably could make an owl.. It's not in the living room. It's in a room in the basement, actually Connor's museum. He moved his tools..etc down there and kind of created a workshop for the winter.

Mark should make a bunch of cute things and sell them on etsy! It would be fun! I would advertise for him on my blog! He could also offer a give away on musings or ittybittybookworms...to drum up interest.

He has so many talents.. if only I cold market him. I could keep him busy for a long time...haha I really do think there are people who would like these little toys made out of wood. The boys love them.

WOW. That's cool! Everybody seems to be getting into the arts these days: scrapping, card making, suziblus, and now woodworking! Go Mark - those are great!

Mark is amazing...he literally can do everything! Mike was so intimated by Mark when he first met him, because I always told him how Mark could do anything!!

I better not show Mark these comments... He might get a big head. Just kidding. He IS pretty special if I do say so myself. Mike is pretty special himself Tam..we did good.
