My latest work

In the next few weeks I shall be making much bigger stuff than I ever have before and that is very exciting. Also my mother shall be out of the country,so my aunt and I want to use that time to get rid of a great deal of crap that she has had clogging up all of the rooms of the house. This is not something that I would usually want to talk about, far less write about, but I want to do so here because it is a big deal to do this. My mother has been complaining about the house like a stuck record.So, now that she shall be away for two weeks, we have the opportunity to do the things that she should be doing but will not do.
On a brighter note, and pertaining to me, my work has me very jazzed to see something made from scratch. I have no idea how I am going to get some of it actually made in the areas I have planned, but I am more interested in getting them done. I see it as at least a dress rehearsal for even bigger opportunities in the future. The good planning of this project can make it a yearly activity. It has the scope of being something that can help people, and that is always a great thing.

Expected results

It could not have been better planned. My cousin wrote me a very disgruntled email about his book. He assumed that I had no intention of doing it. So his letter was filled with disappointment. Little did he know that not only was it finished, he would get it the very next day!
I loved springing this surprise on him! It went way better than I could have planned it.
When he called me he was over the moon, extatic! He told me it made him cry. He was so moved by every single page. He kept looking at it, wondering whether I might have left out anything he would like to add, and he could find nothing.
Then to add to the wonderful mood of the whole thing, my little one kept looking at the book herself, that she kept pressing the keypad of this computer to see the book back and front. She then told me that,and I quote, "found the book very beautiful."
Now that's a great endorcement if I ever heard one.
One one more note, she finally gor the hang of going to the potty. So that was the big surprise for my mother's birthday!
Smiles abound.
