We married 20 years ago, and both had our own seperate interests. I was into oil painting, but developed an allergy to the paints. Larry found the opportunity to work with his woodworking tools, and his passion for making toys developed. Terry worked together with Larry with some of her artwork and his wood. She added her love of sewing and even began to do some woodburning. Fun, fun. Larry's collection of toys increased when we added our Lil Bit line of toys for toddlers and they have no removble parts.
We are dedicated to the use of recycled, reclaimed, repurposed, reused wood. Save a tree, Save our planet.
Larry donates his toys to our local children's cancer center and even got to be Santa last three Christmas's This is our main focus of our shop since most of our toys, over 825 and counting, are donated to this cause. Our shop sales and our craft booth sales help to cover our expenses in this endeavor. A toy is given to each child after they have a difficult treatment, which they can paint with tempera paints. Sometimes their parents get to help with the decorating of a toy. The kids get to keep the toy and hopefully take it home.. The nurses say the toys have a great calming effect on these very sick kids.
