The Backlog

It seems that my ideas of what I will get done at certain times of the year surpass what is actually possible. Visions of handmade gifts for family and friends don't always come to fruition after I finish up all my work for the One of A Kind show. This is my "post show" pile. Books, samples and cds that I hope to enjoy after all my big commitments are over. Hopefully, I dig into this pile today.
Happy Saturday friends!
