I’ve been making small things, quickly.  You’ll have to forgive the flash photography–no sun in Virginia today.  The colors aren’t quite right, but you’ll get the point. All of the bags I made this weekend have the same basic dimensions.  I made several of the shorter, square version because it just seems good for socks, […]

You know what’s even better than working from home?  Being informed that the powers-that-be want you to charge eight hours but only work five.  I never ever ever want to go to an actual office again, I’m so spoiled now.
