    An arts and crafts show really becomes worthwhile when it features artists and craftspeople doing their thing!

    Re Images: I don't know what the hell is wrong with that blog, but I'm seriously considering canning it. I'll give it another couple of days. Or I might kill it tonight!

    I admire people who can make things like this since my manual dexterity is... well, I can turn a steering wheel.

    We live in a time with too many so-called 'artists' and too few real craftsmen like these.
