Good Morning All!
It's raining buckets here this morning! I couldn't be happier! Texas has been in such a drought, this will fill up our lakes and make our Spring wildflowers even better! Hopefully, it will soak the roots of all those poor dead and dying oak trees that have so taken a beating these last couple of years! At my house alone, I had at least 60 oaks die. Not from Oak Wilt, but from total lack of water. Looks like it will rain the whole weekend! Good crafting weather!
Speaking of crafting, I want y'all to take a gander at my friend Judith's Traveling Watch Box! You can find JudithC28's Blog here. Don't you hate when someone's project looks better than yours! LOL! She is one of those people that can look at a picture and duplicate it without any measurements, or a pattern to follow! Amazing Judith As Always!
You done me proud Judith!
Have a Fun Friday All!

Good job Judith and shame on you thinking it's not as good as yours. It's just different. So glad you're having some rain there. Losing trees is very sad. Poor things take so long to get a nice size and give us shade and fruit. Have a great weekend Jim.

I think they are just different...both fabulous!! It's probably just you looked at yours so much that a fresh version looks better to your eyes which have seen your own for a while KWIM? I'm enjoying your tut on the traveling watch box!! :D
If only I could find some Dang CB around here!!

BEAUTIFUL!! I wish I had Judith's skill...just looking at something like the watch case and making it without directions...genius. Thanks, Jim, for sharing!

Hi Jim, I love this project, I think it would make a perfect gift for my hubby, Is it possible for you to post a supply list? I want to start making it but I'm worried I won't have enough stash. Thanks very much, looking forward to the next installment
