My weekend: finishing the piece of cake 3 quilt, knitting a stag head pullover, celebrating a two-year-old’s birthday, gathering with family, snuggling with dogs, baking strawberry biscuits, writing a chapter, and finishing Caraval by Stephanie Garber. I am not looking forward to Monday, but it will be here in a …
This was my life over the past couple weeks. I did a couple different kid crafts. One was a robot which will be a craft over the summer at the library and the other was a spring poetry wreath which I did for library to celebrate National Poetry Month. And …
