It has been a funny week. On the one hand it seems to have gone by quite quickly. But on the other, it doesn’t feel like I did much to make it go quickly. I had my day off today, and I had plans of a long walk, warp the loom and a nice glass… Continue reading Friday Roundup #20-20

I’m not complaining, although I would normally as I love this part of the… Continue reading Friday Roundup #19-20
