The Art of Making Things

I have no problem with making things.....that is, in fact, why I get up in the morning.  My first thought isn't "What's for breakfast?" or "Where's the coffee?" (although that is my second thought), it's "What am I working on today?"  A day where I don't get the opportunity to make something just feels like a big waste of time to me.  So, over the last few months, when I haven't been posting to my website or talking to you all, I have nevertheless been very, very busy working on and finishing up things.  So what good does that do me? is a question that you might justifiably be asking yourself.  If you don't write about it or even take pictures of it what earthly good does it do us, your visiting readers?




That is an excellent question and one that has been bugging me quite a bit recently.  So my New Year's resolution, and I'm starting now because there's no time like the present, is to post to the site daily.  They may not be flashy, or lengthy, or even have pictures, but I resolve to communicate something to you, Gentle Readers, every single day from now on.  I am going to try to think of it as making something, as building a relationship and hopefully a conversation with you about The Art of Making Things.  I want to talk about where the ideas come from, what I've been working on, how to do it, and sometimes even why to do it.  If you comment back to me it will help me to feel as if a conversation is going on, so please do so.  In the meantime, I will hold up my end.
