In your garden Irish ? lol

They are great fun , I think I could make one like that , another winter job ....LOL...

They are great. The pieces seem fairly simple but putting them together might be more difficult :)

Amy it def does sound like a winter job - lets all do one and have a competition - mine will prob look like a matchstick deer but sounds like fun

lol what a brilliantttttttt idea Angie, when do we start

we saw these being made when visiting a local farmers fair last week, lovely but they charged high prices for something so simple, wouldnt mind one though eileen

Cool

O.k Angie ... i,m game if you are , but not until the winter , it will give us an excuse to wander in the woods if nothing else .....LOL ......

do you think Health and Safety will get involved , seen as theres a risk of splinters lol

You can get round that by forming a splinter group Eilen ! Lol

lol good one

1 things 4 sure we wont have to worry about them eatting the Plants :)

No chance Jacque ! But what fun this comp is going to be !

Well my deers, looks like you are all going to turn into carvers and sculptors. May I suggest you have some plasters put by......just be careful.
These are brilliant. Deers in the wood........wood in the deers.

I suggest we keep this quiet from NP .. he,s a DEER but DEERY me he,s to good for us novices ............LOL...

This is fun , every piece of wood will have to be inspected before it goes into the woodburner this winter :o)

Morn Amy its going to be fun isnt it :) When Me&Phil walk Summer in the Woods now we`l be keeping our eyes open 4 some Suitable Bits & Pieces 2 :)

We will be like those trampy bag ladies you see Jacque with old pushchairs with all our scraps in ..... LOL...

LOL il get Phil 2 take & Push his Wheel Barrow Amy :)

Good idea Jacque ! .. I,ve just remembered he,s very good at making things , Oh deer , tough on us :o)

I know lol ;)

Deer all,
May I join in too? I'll just have to keep the wood away from my dogs or it will never get beyond the log stage!

Hi Penkate welcome 2 GOY good 2 hear your up 4 this :) Amy il be making my own Deer without Phils help as im the Member its only fair :)

Hi Penkate, welcome to GOY.
try keep some back back from your dogs so that you can join in lol

Good for you Jacque , phil can still make one for you then you will have a pair , ' him and hers ' :o)

Welcome to GOY penkate , it,s a great site :o)

Jeepers what have I started I have only been gone 18 hours - I am going to make a note in my diary to remind you all - I have visions of Sandras being pink and fluffy and Eileens will have a wooly hat on - if noseypotter joins in it will look like a a real deer (and he will win) crazydi's will have fairy wings - mine will probabley wither, get green fly and die before the end - where will it all end ....... Think Ajay & Peter should be the judges

My budgie, Crocus, has suggested wooden budgie perches to make the legs...
Eileen, you need everything on stilts in your garden to cope with the floods :o(

Great idea........count me in.....my fire will be toasty all winter practising these! Lol!

lol aye TT i sure do

Angie as long as you dont put your deers in a hanging basket they will be fine lol

exactly Janey, all that practise will be put to good use

I think I have solved all your problems of shortage of logs well most of you, just up the road from me they sell logs for the fires why not try one who sells them they advertise too. I wonder who will put the spots on their bodies, my favourite animal as well, I use to go to charlcote park to see them, as for waiting for winter I think its hear now with the weather we are getting, don't forget their antlers too ladies and gents. he he you then could hook bird feeders from them. Is Toto going to be Father Christmas he he he.

Its a must to do before Christmas count me in.
Brian

are you in too Morgana.

BJS great to hear you are up for this , it will be some fun lol

Sorry Irish I will not be as I can hardly move in winter time through my atheritis as I have it not only in my hips and back but my neck and arms too, I will see if there is some thing smaller and softer wood to carve but don't hold your breathe as they say.

aw Morgana im sorry to hear that. xx

Thank you Irish, I believe laughter is the best medicine and on here I laugh a lot at the comments made, I once said to a dissability doctor I like to make people laugh, he said laughter is the best medicine as it exercises every muscle in your body.

Bill & benn would love them as playmates

And dont for get Little weed too

Love this idea,

you in too Roverthefish :-)

Guess I'm in, I can hardly see the keyboard....hold on while I wipe my eye's ...... Thats better, I haven't laughed so much in ag.... Oh bu**er I've woken Holly up laughing ..... :-))

Count me in guys!

yessssssssssss welcome aboard Ian and Regina lol

I'd like to......but I'm wondering where on earth to get logs from? Are you actually allowed to go into the woods and carry away armfulls of logs??!! Don't want to get arrested and have to spend Chrissy banged up LOL

hi Sarah, you could try asking council workers for some logs if you see them chopping trees in the autumn. you can also buy bags of logs.
buttttttt you could use anything wooden, match sticks , old pallets anything lol

Dining room chairs? Would that work?

Aye Sid...then your guests can sit on reindeer instead of chairs.How novel is that !! Lol

Decided since It was MY idea to start a winter project of making the deers I would get started straight away and set the benchmark - have a look at my photo of the finished project : )

I think we should have a cheats box fines going to a worthy cause
Like me ( got that in before the rest of you.chipped in)!

Sid if you use the chair legs make sure its strong you may have to have your christmas dinner sat on it.

Cant stop laughing my hubby thinks im nuts,your all so FUNNY thanks

lol Swanky, you gona give it a try

Go on....ya know ya want to. Lol

haha it was very creative dog, very cute! can ride?

How creative! I love it!
