What really struck me about this was the bright, fresh, summer green leaf looking bug against the neutral, slightly dull, bronze color. The contrast is stunning! And the green gives a certain life to the natural browns and taupes. They seem to have more life.
The green and yellow in this color palette are as unexpected as the bug on the sculpture. It just proves you can find color inspiration in the most unlikely of places.
Do you ever wonder what a dog is thinking? Do they understand us when we talk in full sentences? Do we sound like the teacher on the Peanuts cartoon? Do they like to show off? Do they ever get annoyed?
These questions have struck me a number of times with my own dogs and when working with other dogs. Sometimes, I can almost see the thought bubble above my dog’s head that says ‘Really?’ And this puppy, the model of good behavior and poise, seems to be saying ‘Are you serious? Of course I’m cute. I’m a puppy!’ And she just lays there with those soft, dark eyes that drawing me in. But I also knew that given just a few minutes more, those thoughts would change to ‘What can I explore and get into next?’
If you’re a woodworker (or even a hobbyist), you’ve got to check out these Japanese pull saws. They may take a little getting used to, but once you do, they will cut down the effort and frustration you normally have when using a hand saw! They are almost effortless. A elegant saw for a more civilized age….
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to buy items online. And sometimes, you can really get burned if you don’t check out an item first hand!

Ahhh, summer. There is just something about this time of year. It’s the crisp tang of ice cold lemonade. It’s the bright, beautiful colors of summer flowers. And it’s the fresh, clear scent of aromatic herbs.
Summer kicks off the season of fruitful harvest. It is the first time you can really begin to see the fruits of your labor. But don’t forget to take a moment. Be present. Drink in the sights, sounds, smells and tastes that make each summer unique.
Here’s a really cool item for those of us who lose things. Often. And with great regularity!
