As we enter 2019, I have made a decision to try to de-stress my life (note the "try"). One way of doing this is to not feel stressed about finishing projects just to have things to blog about. Not that I did this before, but as my knitting and sewing skills improve, I am picking … Continue reading Slow Crafting
