With less than a week until Christmas, I am within spitting distance of completing my hand-built gifts for the big day. Nothing is as inspiring as a deadline (at least to me), and I feel it looming large. No worries though … I thrive on pressure, and there are 24 hours in every day, so I have more than 90 hours left. (Plenty of time!) I can’t share what I’m building this year as my friends and family occasionally read this missive, but I will let you know next week.
And with that in mind, I would love to see images of what you may have made for a holiday gift this year. If you have photos, send them in and I promise not to share them until after the 25th. I can’t wait to see them! So we’ll talk soon, but for now, I’ve got to get back to the shop.
