2024 Sewing Project Round-up

Obligatory “I can’t believe it’s already MARCH of 2024”. Truly, though, I can’t. It doesn’t help that our winter has been lame (but global warming isn’t real. Nope. No way), I feel like it hasn’t even started and yet the stupid trees have stupid buds. I absolutely loved every minute I spent snowboarding so far, I always do (even when conditions stink), but I want more. Also, I only managed one campout in the cold weather (on the coldest night of the year), and it didn’t even dip below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a bummer. I was looking forward

Torso Decorations!

Hey, there. ‘Sup?

Oh, me? Not much, other than I FINALLY GOT MY FLIPPIN’ ETSY SHOP UP AND RUNNING!!!!!!

I know, right? Keep your ears peeled for the pounding hoofs of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But until they arrive, you can finally BUY something from me.

It’s a weird thing, selling stuff (or trying to). I’ve always struggled with the concept of applying a monetary value to the things I create, because at the end of the day, I’m going to create them regardless.
