A wood windchime....

I made this wind chime for my Mom...

for Mother's Day...I had seen

something like it on another blog...

I was going to do a project with my Hotrod...

but he wasn't interested in it...

so my little imagination took off...

I found sticks in my yard...peeled off the bark...

sanded with a emory board...

found it was easier than with sand paper...

hubby helped me put in the rings...

he just drilled a little hole...

then we screwed in the rings...

these are large...cause...well

when you send a man to the hardware store...

they go for big and sturdy....

I had a piece of driftwood...

that I picked up at the lake last year...

I just knew it would come in handy some day...

sure enough it did...

we put in more rings...

two on the top to hang with...

four on the bottom to hang the chimes...

we used fishing line to hang the chimes...

and rope for the hanger...

my Mom can't hear high pitched sounds...

but she can hear these clanking with the wind...

she has the perfect tree for hanging them...

she also added the red bandana strips...

cause...like me...she holds on to things....

you never know when they might come in handy...

it was an easy project...

and she loved it....
