The celebration of the New Year presents an opportunity to create and plan new directions and projects. December 31 is our business year-end, and we wrap up our books, taking stock of where things went well and where we need to make changes. The beginning of each year is also the time I explore some new media and methods. For many years, I have set January aside to try new techniques and styles for my artwork. This year is no exception. The beginning of 2026 marks the arrival of our new laser and all of the new artwork we will be able to make with it. The excitement of this new beginning demanded a special piece of art that we could hang in the studio to herald this event. The first piece of artwork I drew his year will also serve as a lasting reminder to pull out the stops with every project. 2026 is going to be a fun and exciting year!
Happy New Year!
As the sun sets on another wonderful year it is a time of reflection and planning. We are thankful for so many great experiences and fun people we’ve enjoyed this past year. We also look forward to 2026 with great anticipation. For us next year will be one of transition as we complete the Hazelnut Inn project and move towards concentrating solely on shop and yard projects. Happy New Year to everyone!
Light magic
Our friends from BNR Electric spent the day hooking up the last of the light fixtures in the Copper Crown Suite of the Hazelnut Inn. The room took on a whole new look under its proper lights, and with the dimmers now all in place, the mood is truly MAGIC. Imagine waking up in the morning to see this four-foot-wide fixture over the king-sized bed.
