Looking for Santa



I'm keeping my eye out for Santa but I do not think this contraption will help.  This stereoscope belongs to my cousins and I enjoyed viewing the cards they have collected throughout the years.  Our family had one during my growing up years but I will have to ask Mother where it is.  I am sure Granddaughter would love to carefully, at the table, with adult supervision, look at the cards and watch the 3d come to life.


Ideas and inventions like this always fascinate me.  The manipulation of what is into the manifestation of what can be makes me giddy.  Except at 2:00 am.  Not very giddy at 2:00 am ...unless what I have been working on comes together in my mind in that sleep/awake state.  Some of my best work has been thought through and then unfortunately lost into the recesses of my sleepy brain in the wee hours.  But sometimes, Bingo!!, and I can't wait to get to the workshop.

If you are like me you are lucky to have a husband that likes to get you what you want for Christmas.  By this I mean...Honey, I ordered my present today.  Reply:  Great, I'll wrap it when it comes in.  We are calling this the Year of the Hammer.  I have been rejuvenated to play with metals so it was time to receive the proper hammers.  Husband said that he couldn't wait to see them, knowing that they will be added to our workshop toys. 

To all I send hopes of safe travels and healthy and joyous family and friends.  Maybe we will get a glimpse of Santa passing by the moon during his busy schedule tomorrow night.

Peace and Merry Christmas to all,
Hilari
