New ukulele day, slightly delayed.

I thought y'all might like to see this.

My mom gave my daughter Allie and me one of those DIY ukulele kits for Christmas. It took a little while, but we finished it on February 21st - which also happened to be Allie's 15th birthday. (She started teaching herself to play ukulele a couple of years ago and has gotten pretty good at it.)

I did the assembly and she did the staining and paint work.

Rather than use the strings supplied with the kit, I put on a set of Ernie Ball ball-end ukulele strings.

The "frets" are integrated into the molded plastic fretboard, and as you can see, some of the gold paint has already started to come off.

The Lemons & Lavender ukulele :

She painted caricatures of herself (with her current short hairstyle) and me on the back.

Lavender on the sides.

To give it a bit of size perspective - and give this post some actual Hamer content - here's the uke with my '81 Special.

The girl, the uke, the birthday cake. I'm no professional cake decorator, but I did my best to emulate the lemons and lavender theme. And yes, it was a lemon-flavored cake.
