Not Impressed With Our Debt January 2023

January wasn’t too bad for us. That’s not a great way to start a post but it’s true, considering we have had many Januarys where we have struggled greatly.

You would think with all that down-time, I would get a lot of stitching done, but sadly, my brain just didn’t want to work well enough to concentrate. However, I did get quite a bit stitched in the lastContinue reading “SAL-Project Joyce’s Rose #8”
