lovely !! what kind of material did you use ? Leather ? and what about the corners; are these at type of clippings ?
I used Marine vinyl on both sides of each of these. The corners are done with snaps. They can be unsnapped and will lay flat if they want to take one on a trip (a place to set their keys and wallet). I could have done them with rivets - but that would have been permanent. Stay safe!!
Ooh! Laura these are awesome. I hope you won't be too sad as your brother has gone to glory. Memories are what keeps us going, aren't they? Have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season, love Chris
I just had a wave of grief when wrapping and mailing out my other brother's gifts. You are right memories are what keeps us going!!! Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas too!! Hugs, Laura
Very nice Laura! Memories are good, as long as we don't let sadness because they are gone, drag us down too long.
I am wondering about my SIL and his family having lost his dad this week. Christmas won't be the same without their Poppa. He always read the Christmas story from Luke, to all his children and grandchildren gathered around that day.
Oh, you know he will be missed. The sadness hit me when I was wrapping presents and getting them ready to be mailed out - I couldn't do it for my brother, Jeff. We have so much to be thankful for that I will not let the sadness drag me down! Hugs to you and stay safe! Laura
These are so awesome, Laura........great job and your colors are terrific!
Thank you, Vicki - I love watching the celtic design stitch out! Hugs, Laura
They're great, I like the design. I also did it as a Christmas gift. Hugs Maria
Thank you, Maria - hard to find gifts sometimes for our guys!! This is a handy one! Hugs and stay safe! Laura
These trays are both beautiful and perfect or the men in your life. And you are remembering your brother. Your sadness is the testimony that you still love him. Treasure the memories and keep making beautiful things.
Thank you, Karen - today, I am feeling so much better - I will be wrapping and baking more today - and, thinking of our 3 sweet grandchildren! I know we are so blessed! Hugs to you!!! Laura
Beautiful work ! They will be happy with these trays !
Great job on these, Laura...I am sure your brother is smiling down on you...holidays are difficult any hear missing loved ones, but especially this year with all that has been going on worldwide this year...Hope your holidays are filled with much love, joy, peace and health...
Thank you Kim - you are right - so many others around the world are having a sad holiday. Please stay safe!! Hugs, Laura
Laura these are fantastic and your brothers will love them. I can imagine how hard the holidays are for the family and you. I pray that you can find joy and peace. Hugs
Thank you - thank you! Your prayers and kind words are so appreciated. I feel bad for so many others also who are having a difficult time during the holidays. Hugs, Laura
Yes, sometimes I can't even sleep when thoughts of my mom and dad passing away. It can be sad any time of the year. I will pray for your comfort and the joy you will have with your other siblings or relatives. These bowls are stunning. I have not see the 'hexagons' or I don't remember seeing this kind. They are beautiful.
So many must be suffering especially this year. I really appreciate you kind words! This design is great for guys - a nice catch-all for keys and wallet or on a desk. Thank you! Take care, Laura
Excellent work!
I am sorry your heart is hurting and yearning for him to be with you or at least a phone call away. The loss of a sibling is so hard!
You've been in my prayers and I will continue to pray for you and your family.
Hugs!
Loss hits you hard during the holidays, I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. It has been a difficult year for everyone! Hugs and stay safe, my friend!! Laura
