    My Daughters Birthday wish comes TRUE

    For her birthday she requested a hammock

    Pink, only . . .

    . . . so after many nights fighting with a old T-Injector

    after purchasing a new one . . . only to discover it still isn't going to happen . . .

    Yadda, Yadda, Yadda . . .

    it is finished and she helped every step of the way . . .

    I did the ends like my Clark are done and it all seams to be quite right.











    Now my other daughter wants one for Christmas, but black and green like my NX150 . . .

    . . . a little more time so I may try a clone . . .

    Can't beat a birthday present like that. My daughters are busy picking out colors for their upcoming hammocks. I'm pretty sure that one of them will be pink, like your daughter's.

    You two make quite a pair. I better not let my girls see this post, for sure.

    Looks great!

    Way to go!
    My daughters both have leopard print hammocks that I made for them, although they aren't as nice as yours. They love to wrap the sides up around them just like your daughter in the pics.
    Keep up the great work!
