Last week, I made the decision to import all posts I’d written for another blog I had in 2015. It was lots of fun to look back at these posts and the things I was blogging about. In total, there were 14 posts and most of them were book reviews! The first post ever written… Read More January update
For Christmas I made this tiny snowman. Because of his size and weight he’s perfect to send to friends via post! You can also use this pattern to make a bigger version – just use thicker yarn.
