Cathy Krumrei - Artist
I'll try not to bore you too much but this is
where you can get to know me and what I do as a wood carving/
artist. You could say, I was bitten by the bug which is more of than
I can say on all the other projects I have done all my life. They
came and went. Now it's 2008 and I'm still at it! I took a few local
wood carving classes in 1996 and fell in love with being able to
create something from a chunk of wood. I enjoy working with my hands
and of course everyone needs tools to create some of the projects
but I do enjoy hand carving and not to thrilled about having dust
all over. I hate cleaning it up and so I do very little power
carving except for the wood turning which I use a good system and
those are mostly big chips so I do have to clean once in awhile. Oh
well.
My First Carving "The Golfer"-
I can laugh with you, I hope I have improved over
the years! Ok, stop you can stop laughing now.
My family-
I have been married 38 years to my husband,
Darryl. We reside in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. We have 2 sons
and 11 grandchildren. We both enjoy working with wood. We are pretty
good about sharing each other projects. It is nice to get a 2nd
opinion on projects that we work on. Darryl enjoys wood working and
has made kitchen cabinets, a baby changing table and has started a
gun cabinet that I have design so I can carve them. I'll be sure to
post the project asap.

Dedicated to
my little brother,
Michael George
Hoch
You have been taken away from us but never from our hearts. Until I
breathe my last breath, I will always have great memories of you, my
little brother. You will never be forgotten. May you have a better
life where you are now, free of pain and suffering then you had on
this Earth. Thank you all that cared for Mike. You all are special.
Mike…I’ll see you again some day. Love and miss
you! Cathy

Alexandra and Madison; mother, Anita; sisters and brothers, Barbara,
Linda, Thomas, Richard, Cathy, Carol, and Bobby; numerous nieces,

Illness has taken me from you, although
not far. I’ll be watching through the sunshine and through the
brightest star I’ll be watching all of you, from the heavens up
above. So take good care of each other and carry all my love. If
your ever wondering if I’m there, here’s where you can start. Take a
look inside yourself, deep within your heart. I’ll always be your
little brother, your friend. So anytime you need me, close your
eyes, I’m back again. Poem dedicated by Carol Irrthum, Mikes sister.

FOREVER FLOWERS E-BOOK
By Cathy Krumrei
Everyone loves flowers! But, they don't last very long.
Even if you decided to buy just one flower it's too high priced and
have you looked at the prices of bouquets these days? OUCH! Ok... so
your saying,
"It's the thought that counts?" What better way to be able to give a
beautiful bouquet or a display for someone that you carved yourself?
And will last forever!?
And practically FREE! Carve beautiful flowers for yourself or family
and friends.
Follow my basic instructions and soon you'll have a room full of
flowers to share with family and friends.
The BEST part is they'll have to touch them to believe that they are
made of wood!
Please
click on the pictures for a better view of the flowers that ARE
wood! Sorry you won't be able to smell the flowers online! See how
real they look!?
-A testimony-
Bob Collins from Victoria,
Australia writes “It's my first attempt and that I am male
and have no idea. This sure is addictive and a lot of fun!”
Word of mouth is great, after selling that lot of flowers last
night, I have had phone calls enquiries.” - Bob
