This time of year is usually very busy, and this year is no different. Received a message last night asking me to create a table top in three days. Now keep in mind that I requested all holiday orders to be placed in November or even in October... pro. That comes to mind. Pro equals procrastinator. I am one of those, but so are my customers. This gentleman waited until just before the moment he needed a finished piece to ask to have it built. Ah... such is life. I figure if I can build a 9 drawer jewelry armoire that I can build the table top too. After all, it is nothing more than an over-sized cutting board. An inch thick. Of course I have to drive 2 hours to get the lumber because the lumber companies close by do not carry lumber... go figure.
I am concerned about lumber, but the fact that my house is in disarray doesn't seem to bother me.. or does it. I have an empty fake tree, never had a fake tree before, and don't really like it. The only other decorations I have up are a sugar bowl and the icicle lights out front that were put up in November. I did manage to make cookies, of which there is one left.... blamed the kids, but then realized I don't have kids.
Looking forward to next week when I get to relax. Or will I. Christmas isn't until later in the week and there are those last minute orders of course.
