[Woodcarver] Whatyadoing?

[Sally Nye]

Hi Joe, thanks for asking "whatyadoing?"  Jan usually asks  
whatchacarving and I'm not carving anything (sigh).  I'm writing!!!   
David has me locked in the back room until we get this book  
finished.  He is passing food through the door.  I'm allowed to look  
out the window to see the bluebirds nesting, chickadees chasing Jenny  
Wren away from their nest box, etc.

We realized we were getting nowhere by writing a few pages on our  
book and then traveling to a woodcarving show or traveling to teach a  
class.  We had to make a blank space in our schedule to focus, focus,  
focus on getting this through to completion.  Therefore, cometh my  
chain bolted to the desk.  I'm allowed to come out and talk to fan  
carvers (briefly) that are traveling through our area.

Writing in English for several other languages is quite interesting  
and VERY time consuming.  Some words don't translate well.  We try to  
be conscious and respectful of that.  So sentences are  
rewritten...maybe a photo will suffice.  Photos for carving steps are  
the best so little text is needed.  In that case, less is best.  But  
telling the history is another story.

I am drowning in umlauts and accents marks.  These squiggly's have me  
cross-eyed.  The brain is dull gray now.  Almost ready to send up SOS  
flares.

Thanks for asking, Joe.  Have a wonderful trip.  You are always  
involved in interesting things.
Best
Sally
