do you Sudoku ?

Sneak peek day for one of the 30 projects I am selling at the Atwood Summerfest street fair here in Madison July 25th. Things are coming along quite nicely. I have finished some and have the majority of the others in the prepping, priming stage. Providing a variety of items is a big focus of this exhibition. I want there to be something for everyone... price points too. So today's peek is a reflection of that.

What if a 60's Hawaiian themed tray morphed with a completed Sudoku book ?..... I should back up a bit.

On our first overseas flight together, I picked up a book for Nate at a gift shop in O'Hare. I had heard about this number game for a few months and although not a game person myself, I knew he would find it entertaining. Well, entertaining is an understatement....he jokes now it is more of an addiction. I can find him for hours and hours sitting on the couch, in bed, in the tub working on the same puzzle. It boggles my mind how he can focus on it for so long.

Anyway, when he walked downstairs one day with this book victoriously uplifted over his head, I knew the time had come and the book had been finished. Before he could get to the recycling bin, I snatched it out of his hands. I couldn't let all that work go unappreciated, so that bed tray became its new canvas. It still needs a few coats of sealer, but you get the idea.

He turned out so cute, I added a desk accessory...this clipboard. Both will be for sale at the fair as well as whatever I decide to give you a peek of next week.
