New Member...Jessica Singer!

[Mark Singer]

If you check the Member list....my daughter Jessica joined yesterday. She has done some fashion related woodworking....has not introduced herself as yet...she is a member though:)

[Frank Pellow]

Please welcome Jessica for me Mark.

It's great to have a daughter who is interested in woodworking isn't it. Kristel, one of my two daughters, is quite interested in woodworking and, while she was still at home with us, we tackled many joint projects together.

[John Miliunas]

And a warm-hearted "Welcome" to you, Jessica! :) As best as I can figure, we now have 3 Singers at the Creek! (And here I sit, not even able to hold a tune!:rolleyes: ) Seriously, make yourself known to us, as we'd love to hear your perspective on this whole WW thing from the feminine side of the Singer family! Oh, and I won't even get into the "no pics, no gloat" thing, as I'm sure your Dad being a moderator and all that, has already filled you in on the finer points of SMC!:) Don't be a stranger! Come often, stay long...!:D :) :cool:

[Earl Reid]

A big welcome to Jessica, I agree with Frank, our daughter got a blue ribbon at the Ill State Fair in 1983 for her woodworking.

Hello all SMC members,

I have heard so much about all of you! Like yourselves, my father is very passionate about his woodworking and he often shares his enthusiasm of SMC with me. I read your hilarious posts, see your gorgeous and amazing projects, and feel touched by the care and support you have for one another.

I took woodshop in the 7th and 8th grade with Mr. Hemus. He had little jars scattered around the woodshop room with fake human fingers and eyeballs in them... To warn us kids what could happen if we didn't take the proper precautions!!! Mr. Hemus was quite a character and I enjoyed his class very much. Besides that, every so often I'll help my dad with his projects and find his tools helpful for my own. Like my father, I love design, and I work in the fashion industry.

I grew up in a very design-oriented, do-it-yourself, household. My earliest memories include me playing in the dirt at my dad's jobsites and watching him work in the garage. I feel very fortunate to have a father and brother that can do anything when it comes to installing, fixing, designing.... My dad complains that his knees still hurt from installing my flooring in my home, which was over 5 months ago!!! But it never fails, my dad has always helped me with anything I ever needed...

Now I live with my brother, Ryan, who eats, sleeps, breathes, design. The attention and care Ryan puts into his design is amazing. Every aspect, to the smallest detail, is addressed. He's designed and built his own bed, he's doing our landscape plan, and some of our furniture... Ryan's wheels are constantly turning....


Well, it's nice to have joined SMC. My father has deepest regards for all of you. I may not be as active of a member as he, but occasionally I'd like to stop by and see what everyone is doing.

Hey Bill Grumbine.... Now that I'm a member, am I invited to your annual woodworking/eating extravaganza? I'm so impressed with your generosity and spirit....

Hello Jim Becker!!! Hope all is well with you....and all SMC members!!!

Thank you for having me. Cheers!!!

[John Scarpa]

Jessica,

A warm welcome to you. Your father is inspirational to us all. We have all learned a great deal from him. I'm always ready to read anything that Ryan drops in with. Now that you mention that he eats, breathes and lives design..... well it fits! Drop in anytime and share.

John

Jessica,

It is great to have another Singer at SMC! Welcome to this wonderful site, I hope that we see you around often! :)

Jeff

[Joe Mioux]

Jessica, welcome to the creek. Your dad has been a great inspiration for a lot of us here at the creek. Don't be a stranger.

Joe

[Karl Laustrup]

Welcome Jessica. It's good to have you join us.

As you can see from my avatar, my fashion sense is......shall we say somewhat lacking.:eek: Perhaps you might have an idea to help. :confused: ;) :D

Then again I am probably beyond help. :o :D :D

[Keith Outten]

Welcome Jessica!

[Robby Phelps]

Welcome Jessica. It is good to have ya. I am relatively new here as well and i love the friendship and comrodity that is SMC. Tell me though is your father as funny to be around as he seems. The guy cracks me up on a regular basis with his responses here. I bet your family has a ball when you get together.

Again welcome and keep us up on the female perspective of things especially when it comes to the furniture designs. I always love to get the loml responses on the pieces i build. A womans eye is a wonderful tool when it comes to finding the beauty in things.

[Corey Hallagan]

Welcome to the site Jessica. Stop back soon!

Hey Mark, how about you help your daughter out with an avatar, as well? Heck, she's GOT to be a LOT easier on the eyes than most of the other mugs we see out here!:D (Yeah, yeah, yeah....Speaking for myself....Bla, bla, bla....):) :cool:

[Lou Morrissette]

Welcome aboard, Jessica. This is a great place to hang out and learn.

Lou

[Jim Becker]

"Hello" back to you, Jessica!! I'm really glad you joined us as I suspect you can add some interesting perspectives, both from your experiences along the way and your own interests in design.

And no question, please show up at Bill's pik-a-nik! (And drag your father and brother along, too...)

[Aaron Koehl]

Welcome to the Creek!

[Jerry Olexa]

Welcome Jessica. We are pleased to have you here...

[Jerry Clark]

Welcome Jessica-- Don't forget-- Tyler is coming back soon! He is the Captain of the picture police!:eek:

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Welcome Jessica! Another Singer to the 'Creek! I'm sure your talents will add here as your Dad and brother do!

[Dan Mages]

Hello and welcome to the creek!! Now we need some family pictures!

Dan

[Wes Newman]

Jessica, It's great to have you join us. Welcome aboard!!!:)

[Joanne Adler]

Hi, Jessica. Welcome. I don't post very often, but I do check up on what's happening at the Creek routinely. I learn so much from these folks.


Bill Grumbine and his amazing family make everyone feel at home at their 5 Barns Picnic, so as Jim says, come on out!

[Don Selke]

Hi Jessica:
Welcome to the creek, maby you can keep your dad in line, we have tried but nothing seems to work.
Just kidding, your Dad is a great guy and I really look forward to reading his posts. Welcome to the creek and I hope you enjoy your membership. Great bunch of guys and gals here.

[John Scane]

Hey Jessica,

I just saw Adina today and she said the 2 of you have been hanging out. It's nice that she's back. Anyway I just joined a few weeks ago thanks to your dad.
Talk to you later.

John

[Mike Holbrook]

Welcome Jessica,

My 8 year old daughter MacKenzie just informed me that she was going to do woodworking. I want to encourage her but since she still hits me with about half of what she picks up I do have some misgivings :)

"Kenzie" loves design too! Guess I have to come up with some father daughter projects.

[Karl Laustrup]

I want to encourage her but since she still hits me with about half of what she picks up I do have some misgivings :)


LOL Mike. I could see where you would have some concerns, especially in the workshop. :eek: :D

[Glenn Clabo]

Welcome to SMC Jessica. It's nice to hear from another Singer who has the design gene like the old man.

[Jim Dunn]

Glad to here about your joining this "club". Hope to get a chance to view some of your work in the future. Don't let your dad influence you with any of his bad habits. Course I've not seen or heard of any, but if your brother is any example there must be some out there.
Jim

[Boyd Gathwright]

.... Welcome aboard Jessica. I am sure you will do just fine here at the creek :).

Welcome Jessica!! ..... Now that's gotta be a neat feeling for a dad!

[Alan Turner]

A warm welcome, Jessica. I have spoken with your father on several occassions, and you are a fortunate daughter.

[larry merlau]

welcome to the creek jessica and by all means you need to go to the picnic, they have agreat time and everybody leaves with a smile and a full stomach! bill is one heck of a host. he will put the very first person he sees to work and make sure you have fun doing it. be sure to schedule it into your time frame. and look forward to hearing your perspectives on this great activity..

[Christian Aufreiter]

Welcome, Jessica! Nice to meet you.

Regards,

Christian

[Ryan Singer]

WARM WELCOME TO YOU, Jess, my little sister!

Hey guys, she has a lot of good ideas. she has her own style, which is different, but she knows good design when she sees it. so, if she says something about design you should listen to her.
I do
sometimes...



that was really nice what you wrote about me jess.. thanx (..snif!)

luv, Rye-rye ;)

[Chris Padilla]

Oh boy...there goes the neighborhood! The Singers are takin' over!!! Run fer the hills, run fer the hills! ;)

BTW, WELCOME! :D :D

[Paul Thompson]

Food? Did somebody mention food??? :)

Seriously, though, I appreciate the eyeballs and fingers idea. I have 2 girls and another kid in the oven*. One girl is 4, the other 3. However, someday I am sure that at least one of them will make it into the shop with me, which makes safety "reminders" and thing of interest.

Also, even sooner, I am going to start working with some Boy/Girl Scouts in my shop - some sort of a woodworking badge or something. Anyways, the fingers and eyeballs are a good idea in that respect as well.

Back to the thread - WELCOME, JESSICA!!!
