Tim's Canvas - Now OPEN.

My honey's in business. Last year we built a new shop on on our property. It's really huge, 30 x 70. My husband uses it for his "hobby" (and to store his baby - the Harley.) By trade he is an upholsterer. He works in his dad's shop with his brother and my youngest brother. They only work on automobile, marine and aircraft - NO Furniture. So now with our new shop, he has set up "Tim's Canvas." He will work on big boats (yachts) making the canvas covers and screens they use to cover the windows and patio areas. He also has a friend that restores old jaguars. Tim will do the interior for him. He had one delivered last night. WOW. It's a really cool old car. He said this type of jag was the first car to go at the speed of 140 mph. It's almost restored fully, it just needs a new convertible top - that Tim has to make piece by piece by hand. Tim is very talented in many areas, he's been doing upholstery for over 30 years. He pretty much knows his way around a sewing machine, a glue gun and your car. I've seen some beautiful cars restored at his dad's shop over the years. Many of them have won awards at car competitions for their uphosltery. When I get this blog thing really figured out I'll post some pictures of his work.

I love that Tim has such a wonderful talent and that he uses it and enjoys it. Too many of us waste those talents thinking it isn't good enough!
