Catching Up Part 2: End of February

I have to share/brag about some of Skott's latest projects.
First:
We have a good friend who is English, so he LOVES his football (soccer).  His favorite hometown team is West Brom.  He is also very cheap and we always tease him about needing new footwear.  Skott came up with a great idea for his birthday:  custom painted Vans

started out rubbing the outline on from a traced logo

Finished Project.  1878 is the year the team was founded.

It was a fun project and we're really happy with the outcome!  Skott did a great job and Ginge LOVED them!
Then, Skott took an old drawer from a salvaged piece he got in Wisconsin, and made this tray for his niece for her college graduation. He did beach stone handles, since she graduated with a degree in Geology.

The last part of February, Josie came to visit!  Her boyfriend Dustin drove (yay, no car fires this time!) and she brought 9 month old Dozer (Great Dane/St. Bernard Mix).  The first day, it was sunny and beautiful.  Then, in typical Josie-visiting fashion, it was rainy and nasty the entire rest of the week they were here!

This is how he sits in your lap

I was too late getting my spot reserved in bed
(see the blurry tail wag?)

Second night, came home from work and completely lost my spot!

he LOVES Skott

and Bella LOVED him!

Barry and Teresa came down from Tacoma.  We had fun hanging out with them.  Went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory on Sunday:

Dozer found a dead starfish- YUCK
