Workshop: when will it end!


So I need more pom poms than I thought I might of needed today by at least 20. Wanted to finally have the stool finished today but now seems it is very possible that tomorrow will be the last day to have the stool finished and to then make my boards finally. I am also trying to create some animations in solid works something I hope will be useful and I will use during the presentation.
