Popping on to show you some of what I’ve been working on lately. I realized that I do a lot of stitching in lots of different categories, so I’m gonna break the projects down into those categories, and show you what I’m working on in each category.

I have an article in there this time! It’s about battling burnout. I think we all have to do that now and then. It’s a real thing. Right […]
