I hope you all had a pleasant Thanksgiving! I've spent the last few days degreasing dishes and steam mopping floors, but with a grateful heart, since I know so many people willing to teeter mismatched plates on their laps while perched on the arm of that Ekjunk Olorpum chair I've had since college. Now that the turkey leftovers are diminishing, and we turn our eyes to the next set of holidays, wouldn't it be nice to find a way to prepare for the December hustle while still recovering from last week? Wouldn't you know, we've got a solution for you! This Thursday Handi-hour will offer the chance to make holiday ornaments (or gifts) for your tree and ours, while enjoying live music, merriment, and maybe even a little malt. Details below, my friends!
