Rain on and off this day so far. Temperatures are cooler and it feels good.
Murphy runs out but returns quickly and then naps. He is not fan of rain. The sound of it splatting on the rocks outside my sewing area is pleasant with Willie Nelson serenading me. Going to be a easy relaxing day.
All the pieces are together. Alan did a white wash on it for me. then it was my turn to work on it......
My sewing etui is ready for use....
e·tui
/āˈtwē/
noun
dated
a small ornamental case for holding needles, cosmetics, and other articles. ..."exquisite etui cases fitted with scissors, bodkin, and thimble"
There are 3 dowels for thread, the box opens to hold needles and there is a magnet inside the lid. A place for a cute pair of scissors and the screw eye in Millie's head is to put the thread through while sewing. Did not know this extra talent for The Brother Alan. Next month will mark 2 years that he and Lisa are living here. We certainly have fun times. Totally support each other.
Think it is time to see what is going on in the garage...Alan is in his work shop. I will leave you with Murphy relaxing ...

Your brother has lots of hidden talents!
Great job, Alan! I've never seen one before. I think I'll ask my husband to make me one. I'm loving these cooler temps...
The etui is lovely. I've not seen a wooden one before, only stitched ones. Such a nice idea
