Crazy Holidays - Alternate gift and tree ideas for christmas, yule

Gadgetrees (Not Trees) and Solstice Gifts

What is it about the winter holidays that inspires us to learn new crafts? We've picked up many skills and dropped a few along the way. Our ventures into stained glass were a failure and I've never sat at a pottery wheel. But you start with any idea and each time you stretch your skills a little more beyond your abilities.

No, this is not the place to find unique gifts. This is the place to find new ways to enjoy the holidays. Well maybe 'enjoy' is too strong a word for people like us who get carried away. We've never done this to make money. At one point an amazed friend said, "You guys should start a business and call it Stupid Things Made To Order"

So here then to help you through the chilly winter blues ...

Everyone likes gifts

To get a sense of scale, it looks like our snow rabbit is about to swallow the last of the picnic bench behind him.

I can't say if I'm going to get the time to do this site justice this year. I have lots of pictures of past projects including

The Haunted Graveyard (with ghost house beneath)
Miniature triple decker house (replica of my grandfather's house)
carved limber jack
The Edith & Irving Clock - The ultimate in personalized custom gifts. You know it's been made for you if the letters of your name are the numbers.
Glow in the dark finger soccer.
The East Pole When was the last time you visited the East Pole? How else do you expect to learn the origins of the Easter Bunny?
