Peeking into the Peephole


Another wonderful weekend spent at Arrowmont.  This class centered around welding, which I learned that I cannot do.  The gasses used makes my system go out of whack.  But, thanks to our wonderful teacher, Frankie Tone, offering to weld my creations, I was able to complete 2 projects.  He went above and beyond and for that I am grateful.




Having no experience or direction with welding, I packed a few items that I thought would be fun to work with.  From my stash I chose a door peephole and a comic book and started planning. The top picture is what you see when you get up close and personal, peeking into the peep hole.  To make this I got to use a large chop saw for cutting metal square bar and dowels, and a grinder, both of which threw a vast amount of wonderful sparks.  Elbow grease was used to clean the edges and make them ready for welding.  I grabbed my trusty wire to attach the peephole to the top crossbar and with a little adjustment the piece was complete.  I enjoy making pieces that people have to interact with and with this one I was surprised at how many neglected to peep.




This morning has been spent in the kitchen peeling, cutting and cooking down apples flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and sugar.  I love to have them in the freezer because they go with EVERYTHING...pancakes, apple uglies, a yummy side dish, topping for pork chops...I could go on and on.  With the amount cooked I should be set for a while. Yea!

Today is a rainy, lazy, crocheting, movie watching Sunday...after the apple cooking, of course.
Enjoy what this day brings you!
