Peep, Cluck and Baaa

We made it through week 2 of Stay-at-Home/ Pandemic time! Creative energy took a different shift yet again. I can blame the online-felt-along: Chicks.

They really have a lovely gardenContinue reading “Visiting a new shop”

Since then I’ve been slowly discovering the joy of working with yarn, even dragging skeins here and there to wind or start projects. Public crafting!!! Yikes!!  The trip to Texas back in June helped start myContinue reading “Yarn”
