April 30 2012 We are back!

We have been away a bit. Michael was real sick for about a year and we struggled to get his health back up. He is much better now but still has a hard time handling real stressful situations, but still much better than he was. He would have died, probably within a month, if we had followed what the doctors wanted us to do. That is a whole different story in itself. We no longer trust doctors.

We have just joined Pinterest today. We attended a webinar that was really pushing Pinterest and all the positive things about it. So we decided to give it a try.There is really nothing to lose, and everything to gain.If you would like to join us at pinterest the url is:
http://pinterest.com/Twigs2Whirligigs. Though we are just learning, there is quite a bit of really great stuff out there, I was somewhat amazed.

 I am telling you, our shabby chic shelves and other items like cottage decor signs and rustic furniture, would look great in some of the homes that I saw on pinterest.

We still have our etsy shop Twigs2Whirligigs with shabby chic wall shelves and cottage country decor, rustic decor and cabin decor. We also make many painted distressed wood shelves, wood sconces, wall vase holders, mail olders, letter organizers, beach signs, and the twig furniture. The url is: http://twigs2whirligigs.etsy.com/.

We have another, fairly new, it is CTheWritingOnTheWall, where we make all kind of word signs, distressed, shabby chic,rustic and cabin signs. We are definaaately going to add Family Rules signs, Lake rules signs, more typography word art and subway art. Our url is: http://cthewritngonthewall.etsy.com/ Come visit our shops and see what we have to offer you, often we will be adding new items. We also do custom orders.

CLOWN DOING HANDSTANDS WHIRLIGIG

Practice makes perfect.
Stretch out those legs!! LOL

This, my friends, is a one-of-a-kind whirligig.

 I designed,handpainted and handmade this unique, original design clown that does handstands on his own colorful stage.

I had decided to make a different one so that he could just be sat on a deck, porch or table, and still work well, instead of on the usual rod. 

I needed to make sure that the propeller would not touch anything and that the     platform that the clown is on is sturdy, so it won't be knocked over in the wind.

The painted design and colors came as I made the whirligig. He has all brass

hardware.

You have 2 movements. His legs, as well

as his body, move in a very smooth

up and down movement. Just sit him

down facing the wind and watch 

Now with a nice smooth movement,
 lower your legs and relax.  Perfect!!

him do his tricks.

He was really a lot of fun to make and watch. He can be outside doing his tricks or inside looking like a million in your home.

He is a great home decor,collectable item and a great conversation piece.

It seems to me that anyone that has a vision in their mind of what they want to make, can, if they just take the time and try.

Even if someone tells you, "You can't do that," it doesn't make it so. Try. 

You might just surprise them.

Hope you enjoyed this.

Til next time-Take care.
