Goodbye until 2011

Design Week is retiring for Xmas at the end of the week, but today the last blogs will be posted until Wednesday 5 January.

Thanks for all the cards, confectionary, booze and gifts. Some of your cards have been fashioned into this fetching tree shaped effort.

The array of indoor snowballs have been a particular hit. We hoarded them until last night and then let rip; although it should be noted the ones which need water are devastating if mixed to the wrong viscosity. Our news editor nearly lost an eye.

With models, kits, puzzles, teasers and modeling clay we have been encouraged to be particularly creative this year and consequently the news desk, features desk and production desk are a beautifully festive detritus of red gold and green – which should see us through until Friday.

Merry Christmas from all at Design Week.
