Snake gourd and fall season swap block

This is Corbin posing with the "snake gourd". I think we must have gotten ahold of some "whale gourd" seeds instead of snake gourds. This is the only fruit growing on the vine, and it isn't very snake-like. I figure it's still got a month or so of growing time, so eventually we might hollow it out and make a canoe.


Here's my half worked fall block. It's not due for some time yet, but I wanted to have everything possible out of the way before the retreat in late September. I sent off the donation blocks for Making Memories and for Kate Hollifield's Tsunami for Africa project.

Hi Janet!
What a Cutie-Pie standing next to the snake gourd! Do you have plans to make something with the gourd later? Did I already say that I really like your STS Block? And.. is it a bad thing to hope to get partnered up with a certain STS block? I'm just askin'!! :) Here's to doing a bad thing! He he...

Beautiful block there darlin. I love the vines and leaves you did. And of course your signature artwork, is stunning as always. I see Ing is wanting to be partnered up with you? Let's see what I can do about that. ;)

I have no idea who you are and I found you by surfing fairly randomly, but you are hilarious and I think I will become a subscriber! Beautiful art work and hilarious comments on toilet paper, raccoon honey, and life in general. "We made the toilet paper smaller to celebrate your weight loss" yeah!
