Que Hippie: Labor of Love

My Señor is an amazing craftsman.
He is one of the most talented people I know and the work that he does always takes my breath away.
Recently while I was studying, he saw that I was struggling to fit all my notes, books and paperwork onto a dinner tray stand. So, he told me that he was going to use the wood that he had left over from a construction job to build us a computer desk with enough room for me to study. Needless to say, I was thrilled!
Que green?! Que Hippie?!
He was excited with the outcome and is inspired to build more furniture.
I. can't. wait.

He still needs to seal the wood before we can set it all up. But for now, it's holding all my work to study for finals.
I love it!
