A little #vintage crush this morning: 1950’s children’s hand-crank sewing machine, “Betsy Ross”. 🙌🏼 (Available through our webshop.) #sewing #collectible #decor #minisewingmachine #eidolonhouse Tooling detail:  I used a decorative roll, a bunch of small tools, and a few of my own handmade tools—including our stylus tool—to create the design.👌🏼

(Swipe 👉🏼) #woodturning #woodworking #wip #toolmaker #eidolonhouse Happy Earth Day and Happy Birthday baby Eden (the sheep in the back of this photo)!🎉 I guess she isn’t the baby anymore.😭
In this photo Eden and baby Nathan are relaxing in the sheep shed.  Eden usually likes to be left alone, but this little guy loves her; wherever she is, he isn’t too far away.💛🌍💛🐑💛

#lambs #farmlife #fiberfarm #babyanimals #eidolonhouse We decided to make our tooling stylus handle out of hickory rather than red oak. Hickory is a nice hard wood and is super fun to turn.✒️ (Shop our tooling stylus on our website.)

#eidolonhouse #rarebooks #bookbinding #collectibles Generosity of people never fails to amaze me! This press was given to me today by a gentleman who lives near us. He’s a retired newspaper man, and mentioned to me he had an old book press from his days of running his business. Out of the blue he stopped by and dropped off this beautiful piece of equipment. I don’t deserve this; I am a blessed man.

The twins snuggling while mama grazes near by. I couldn’t stop squeezing them today! -Jill 💕
