Trying to get back into my crafting mode, so I have an Etsy shop which is sad at the moment. However, I did just add my first knit FO of the season for sale! It is just a girl’s scarf, but I love it. If it were longer, I may have been tempted to keep [...]
I spotted this article, written by Holly Burnham, at Search Warp. Not only can I personally relate to her story, but I was attracted to her beautiful, tongue-in-cheek writing style.
