Ever since then, their breakfast bar in their kitchen has been filling up with random turned pieces of wood &#8211; some functional, some decorative, but all lovely.  My dad has made us a set of wooden bowls, and he gave Carrie a wooden egg-shaped kaleidoscope.<\/p>\n<p>On a seemingly unrelated note, I was in Michael&#8217;s the other day and found some small silk flowers that I thought might look cute in Carrie&#8217;s play kitchen.  But a quick trip around the store didn&#8217;t yield any plastic vases.  Then I ended up in the ready-to-finish wood objects aisle&#8230;and had a thought.  (Rare, but it happens sometimes.)<\/p>\n<p>So I went to my parents&#8217; house last night to work with my mom on a project, and mentioned to my dad that if he had some spare lathe time Carrie would really adore having a vase to put her flowers in near her kitchen.  Two hours later I came home with this little treasure.<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t it lovely?  It&#8217;s wild cherry, and the grain pattern is just beautiful.  I&#8217;m having a hard time putting it in Carrie&#8217;s kitchen &#8211; I want it in mine!  I wonder if I could make a request for Mother&#8217;s Day for one of these for me?  :) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mom gave my dad a lathe a couple of Christmases ago.
