Melissa brought her son back to the forge, and tonight they brought a cousin too! He made a great Railroad Spike Knife. And Melissa and her son made scary cheese knives. There may have been talk about working towards swords!

Joyce was back in the afternoon with her daughter-in-law, Ashley. Ashley has been to the forge many times too. They both made the larger rose (think level 2 flowers ). Lots of artistic choices when making this flower. They both turned out beautiful!
