An Unusually Warm Day For Fall---Part Four!

Hey Gang!

We will join everyone back in the kitchen at story time.

Apenimon: Avery, your grandma will be coming to pick you up!

Avery: OK!

Nakoma finishes the story.

Loraine: I was just admiring the lovely island you made!

This is really wonderful!

Apenimon: Thanks you! I got orders for a few after some of the

people in town once they saw it.

Loraine: I've got questions about the pie cabinet too. I really like the way you
used the same wood for both pieces. The old fashion feel of both of them makes
the kitchen feel warm.

Apenimon: It was my favorite pieces to make. I saw one in a catalog and wanted
to make one.

I really love sitting in the big chair too. It is made really well and feels like a
big hug!

It makes story tell as much fun for the teller as it is for the listener.

That's a warm compliment! The door bell rings.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

An Unusually Warm Day For Fall---Part Three!

Hey Gang,

Lets join Apenimon in the studio!

So Apenion went to his studio in the barn. He is working on a sofa for the
gathering room.

There is going to be two and this one is the first. Daisy and Inola will be tanning
and weave the fabric for them.

I need to cut some more off this leg.

It should be about level now and I can....

He had finish with the frame when Running Bear stops by.

Running Bear: I thought you might be out here!
Apenion: I am finished the frame on this sofa and now I will start on studio stalls.

They right the frame of the sofa.

Running Bear: That's good because we have two inside contracts for stalls and
two outside contracts.

Apenion: I know who the inside contracts are. Who are the outside contracts?

Running Bear: One is a Mr. Batiste, I don't know him and the other is Blaine Tsai.
Apenion: It will be great having so many artists to bounce ideas off of.

Apenion: I'll need to keep on schedule then. I'll need to work things out on my

calendar. I still have the last sofa to do, a chest and some odd pieces. He looks

at his calendar.

Apenion: The other sofa frame will be like this one but larger. It will take a little
more time.

Apenion: I have reinforces the frame in here so that more people can sit on it.

Just then Daisy arrives.

Daisy: I see you are finished one of the sofas!

Apenion: Yes! I will start on your studio stall first!

Daisy: Inola and I can work out of the same stall for a while. It will be nice to
have a space to work in and not have everything all over the bedroom.

The other day I had to move everything to a sheet on the floor to take a nap.
She laughs. I see you have on the black lamp shirt. It looks good on you.
Running Bear: Thanks, it feels really good on!

Apenion: I will have the stall finished by next weekend but the electrical will
still have to be ran.

Daisy: I can work during the day and use daylight until that is done but it will
be nice to just have a space.

Here they are trying out the sofa frame

Daisy: It will be nice once we get finished with it! I see you had Avery helping
you today. He is such a sweet boy.
Apenion: Is he and Two Feathers still playing with the ball.
Daisy: No, Nakoma is starting story time. They went into the kitchen for cookies
and milk first.
Apenion: I’ll have to take him home after that. I got a text from his mom asking
about what time he might be back. His grandma is coming to get him.
Daisy: Are you heading back in?
Apenion: Yes, in a few minutes.
Daisy: OK I’ll see you inside.

We will join everyone back in the kitchen at story time!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
