When Emily Dickinson could not write a poem, she “baked biscuits instead, and was just as pleased.” I do a number of things when I am not writing, including little crafts projects. Right now I’m doing a not-so-little craft project, one that involved my husband wielding a chainsaw: a hat rack made out of part of an old but unusual pallet.

There will be six white hooks at the base and the letters will be fixed along the top.

I’ll let you all know when it’s done and up on the wall!
