Wood’n Bits Workshop

I’m a curmugeon.  I admit it.  Holidays like Valentine’s Day, the ones manufacturered by the marketeers, make me grumpy.  Hallmark and the flowers industry have done their best to make us believe that spending a bunch of money on not much is the way to show love for the people around us.  And these marketeers are really good at their trade as people spend $14 Billion on “stuff”, most of which won’t exist in a week.  They’ve converted what was the celebration of the execution of St. Valentine into a commercial boost between New Years and Easter.  My view is that we should all be smarter than to allow this sort of manipulation.

But, I do have two people that I love very much.  And so, rather than spending a couple minutes buying an expensive piece of paper, I spent some time in my shop creating “valentines.”  These are those valentines.  They seemed to like them and the candy… of course.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Cheers — Larry
