Welcome back! Spoiler alert: my boobs hurt. We’re also almost five months into cooking this baby. Crazy! I’ve been picking up a lot of abandoned crafts, like a stitch-a-long from last year and a kit of mini diamond paintings. We also had some friends over last weekend and they talked about Woobles kits. I have a few, but the magic circle start to a crochet project always threw me. Her suggestion was just to get … Continue reading Links: Jane Austen, Podcasts, & More
