Gráinne’s Leg Peg
OOPS!
While Gráinne’s leg was being carved in Oregon, it fell on the floor as the ankle peg hole was being drilled, and the blow loosened the glue holding the foot to the leg. To prevent the foot falling off at an inopportune moment, we fixed it as soon as possible after we got home.
Tansy comes home again
Stuff
After several weeks hanging about with Archaeologists in the field, Tansy was very glad to get home again.
Boating
Leaky Boat
Min is helping Gráinne practice for her future nautical career…they liked the basket but thought it might be a bit too leaky
Tea Cups and Cutlery
Expanded
While the human was in Oregon, she and her carving companions made a small excursion to the local Antique Store “The Butler Did It“. With complete and utter delight, the human noticed a partial set of blue painted tin tea cups, saucers and plates. They were purchased because they exactly matched the tea things back in the Quimper Hitty Cupboard. In this picture, the knives, forks, spoons and items in front of them are from the shop in Oregon. Behind the cutlery is the tea set from the human’s grandma…a perfect exact match!
Tansy takes a break
switch
Tansy had a short break from Archaeology when her favourite photographer took her on a little trip off of Quadra Island one weekend.
Gráinne
Gráinne and my favourite tea vessel
Olive wood Gráinne was carved in Oregon, and completed at the crack of dawn on August 28th. On the first full day of her existence, we traveled 400 + km by land and sea, and crossed an international border populated by menacing excisemen.
Trip South
A Notable Inn
A few of the Quimper Hittys went on an expedition to Oregon last week…After a ferry ride and a long drive, the human stopped overnight in Port Townsend at this splendid old Bed and Breakfast.
Tansy Continues to work Hard
Whistle-blowing
Tansy is getting to be quite the valuable asset to an archaeologists. She is experienced enough that she got to wear a supervisor’s vest for a while, and blew the whistle as needed.
