I always loved it, and when I eventually got my own home, I started dropping hints that maybe it could be mine one day. I got it sooner than I expected! as mum decided she didn't want it in their lounge any more. Yay!

The chap who made it was the church organist and choir master (I sang in the choir), he was my brother's clarinet teacher, and he taught me to play the church organ for a while. He is also an amazing woodworker, and used to make medieval instruments, as well as furniture. My brother commissioned him to make a similar one for his wife, who's also very musical - he taught her the clarinet too.

It stands next to my scrap desk (I've pulled it out here to photograph it better), and since I rarely use it for music, I use it to display my latest layouts!



What a great story! Love that! And it is a perfect venue for showcasing your latest scrappy creations!

Here's mine.

Sorry it took forever first to download from my camera and then to upload.

This is a tapestry/wall rug I made back in the 80's. Actually I started it 85 but then had to leave it be for quite a few years until my Mom started to work on it with me and then I finally finished it in 92. It's a yard by a yard and a half (a little less), the design is from a Finnish designer.
I love it and it's been hanging in my home for the past 19 years.
It's darker red IRL.
