The Habit of Thankfulness: A Few of My Favorite Things

 Apr 18th- A few of my favorite things...

~The quest to turn parts in a box to a ship with her sails

~The patience it takes to paint, glue, and rig together the ship

~The pride that goes into making a ship you've learned so much about along the way....drum roll, please...meet the Cutty Sark!

The Cutty Sark...

sailing with the flag of J Willis and Son on the main mast,

the British Nautical Flag,

and Letters that Spell out JKWS

(for the tea company who owned her)

on the halyard line...

and the numbers 2 on the foremast

and 2 on the mizzen mast for '22,

the year Thea built the model....Great Job Thea!
