Been busy lately making toys for an upcoming show. Here are just a few in process. We are kind of out of practice and it is cold out so they are getting painted inside. I guess I am going to have to insulate the shop and put a heater in there LOL

Are the holes in the legs for wheels? And what are the holes drilled in the backs for?

The holes are for wheels with flappy rubber feet. The holes in the backs are for push sticks. I will try to post a picture of a completed one when I get a minute

At least it sounds like you got someplace to go. We've already had the first big Polish festival (usually the end of May in NW Ohio) cancelled, along with the rest of their events..........until October at the earliest. 2nd one up here in July won't be decided on for probably another month to 6 weeks. Another summer off will really put me in a "I like it and don't care if I do these" anymore. The set up and tear down is getting harder and harder each year. People should be ready to come out.

The Texas Governor just announced yesterday that he wants the whole state to open everything. We'll see how that goes. Locally, I thought most everything was open. I guess theaters are still closed. We walked through the mall a while back and looks like everything was open there. They did have an out door craft show and sales planned a couple of weeks ago, but the freeze brought that to a close.
Not sure what the Governor was referring to, that he wanted to see open.
Maybe he doesn't get out too much.
How are things in your areas? Are businesses open, restaurants, bars, theaters, gyms, nail salons, barbers.
Sandra and I stopped for a coffee at a small bar restaurant in town the other day. We were seated within 3 or 4 feet of the next customers,
once sat down, the mask came off, no one had one, not the waitresses, the bar tenders or the other customers. After this last year of wearing masks, it seemed weird to see everyone's mouths moving as they talked, drank and ate.
