My name is Felicia Cannon. Felicia wasn't a common name when I was a child, but you see I was the 14th child to my Mom and Dad. They were very happy I was their last (coincidentally my name is Latin for happiness) go figure! I made it into this world just in time, my Mother was 46 my Dad 50.
　
A friend who is a web designer said she would create a web site for me, if I narrowed down what I chose to create. Ha, no website, because I never could limit myself. So that's where Etsy comes in...I create furniture and furnishings out of re-purposed wood, especially Architectural wood when houses are torn down or renovated. My husband used to say,"why are you saving that junk?" now he is one of my primary sources. I am more excited when he picks the trash, on his way home from work, than if he bought me flowers or diamonds!

　
My niece, who is very hip and happening, lives and works in N.Y.C. said Etsy was the place to be! So in my free time whilst juggling the schedules of 5 children and husband, a job as a substitute teacher at an school for Autism, a leader in a worldwide Bible study (B.S.F. International, Google it if you never heard of it.This study on the Bible is literally the best thing I have ever done!). I finally started my diverse collection on Etsy as...FMC(my initials)furnishings(because everything I make falls sort of in this category).

Ok, I am not sure what a typical day would be? I have never had one! Our days always start early, getting children out the door to school (uniforms on, breakfast, homework and lunches in book bag, do hair, out the door). I am called to substitute 3 days a week, and I never know what school in the district I am going to end up in. (not always a positive thing for a CONTROL FREAK), or I go to Bible Study Fellowship as a group leader (my sanity time I call it,developing my relationship with my God. He is sooooo amazing!!!).
　



Two Door Wardrobe Painted White for 18' Doll


God lets me know when he wants me to change my schedule, and he is All Powerful. He doesn't have to beg, or give me puppy dog eyes! One beautiful spring morning I was driving a back road to the grocery store. It wasn't unusual to see a woman walking on the side of the road talking on the phone. I passed her and a clear voice in my head said,"Turn around and pick her up." What!!!! Sure I will. I drove another mile before I gave in to the wishes of the nagging voice. I drove back, asked her if she needed a ride. I could see her face was swollen and she was crying. She was thrown out and abused by her husband that morning. I drove her to social services. She asked me why I came back?...God loves all of us so much!!! That's part of the reason why I don't really have a favorite Bible verse.
　
God inspired the entire Bible. I can't believe that he would stoop sooo low to use even me. Every word of the Bible I study, brings me closer to him!!!
　



Handpainted Angel With Star



Where in the world can God use me??? That's where I desire to be. Right now being in Southern Delaware, being a Christian woman, wife and mother is where I am supposed to be! Where I want to be!
　


18' Doll Wardrobe




I am Felicia Cannon's custom furnishings on Facebook, but I don't update that site very much. I am sort of busy. In my free time, I create stuff with my cool tools!

The idea for this post came about after listening to a sermon in which our pastor threw out the questions: "What would the church look like without men? What if it was just a place where women and children hang out?" That got me thinking about our CAST team and that it would be great to try to identify the CAST shops that are run by men or are husband/wife, father/daughter or father/son partnerships. So far we have been able to identify 15 shops. If you know of any others please Contact Me.


These are the first five shops:



My name is Joel Quiggle and I create Limited Edition art prints of my work. I graduated from Penn State University with a BFA in Drawing and Painting. In the fall I plan on attending Edinboro University to complete my Masters in Art Education and teachers certification.I didn't take much of an interest in drawing until about 10th grade, from then on, I have loved translating my imagination onto paper or canvas. I realize God has given me all of the gifts or talents I have and I want to give God all the glory and honor that may arise from them.God has given me a true passion for Art in general and I just love being able to do what I do. If my artwork ends up in a gallery or in my basement, I am content on what God has done in my life. I am putting all my sales towards an engagement ring, so help me out and get some great artwork with it!


I am Dave Alden owner/operator of Wolf Creek Millworks. We are a small artisan forestry products business that uses the wood found along our roadways, backyards, and other non-traditional locations. This wood often ends up in landfills and/or is allowed to rot. This seems like a waste to us. We hold the Christian belief that we are to be “stewards” of this planet we live on. While we do not espouse radical environmentalism, we do have concerns that we are not doing a very good job taking care of the place God made for us to live on. Our equipment is well suited to operating in suburban back yards, parks or woodlots without leaving a large footprint. Wolf Creek Millworks makes finished home décor items, mantles, bowls, oil-candles etc. from the wood we gather. We also make slabs and blocks available to other wood working craft-persons.

Our shop was started during a period of unemployment. We think that small artisan businesses are the future of the global economy. With the availability of the web and global shipping giants we have the same market as the mega-corporation with the customer service and local flavor of the sole proprietor. We hope you enjoy our work as much as we enjoy making it.
