I love new years. It's like a new beginning to get something right. It's a chance to do over what didn't go right before. The new year gives me energy to try new things and finish all the old things that I had put aside. This year my goal is to make more projects for myself. I always make things to give away as gifts. But I've got a large piece of rock in my office just waiting to be carved, and a square of clay under my desk that is dying to be pulled out and shaped. Take time to make something for yourself. Something not for an assignment, or a gift, or from a kit. Make something from the heart. Believe me, you'll be thankful later. It feels so good to make something just for yourself.
