Hobby Lobby can suck it
So, LB sent me a text this morning that she heard a new craft store opened up locally. This must be big news for her to hear about it since she’s really not into crafting like I am. Then I remembered that yesterday I was in Joann Fabrics and I overheard someone mention Hobby Lobby. At…

Days Gone By
I’d never touched real wool yarn. It was a luxury that not only could I not afford in my “Ramen, again?” days, but one I didn’t realize was attainable. Wool yarn to me was something that only people with money used… and I was afraid of using it. I might ruin it… or shrink it…

Just relax
