Handmade Crazy

I am doubtful that I will ever be able to participate in a Handmade Christmas. In an attempt to save my gift budget I tried to make just 2 presents. All I made was myself, the hubs, my sweet dad who was trying to save me, and the recipients of these presents crazy. 

There needs to be skill involved in order to make your gifts. You should not just assume it will all work out. You should not assume freaking out for an hour over one of the gifts counts as a gift of time. The gift of time is your hubs trying to calm you the hell down, and that gift is to you. 

So now in the dust-filled garage is a mostly sanded, half varnished, wood legged, and veneer topped coffee table I never want to see again. And on my credit card bill are the presents that took its place 2 days late.
