It’s doing me no end of good and, judging by the messages I’ve received on the various social media sites I post them on, it seems to be brightening other people’s days too. I’m so pleased that this is helping other … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in December

Three guesses who now has such a … More Kizzia Crafts: March 2021
It’s been a mostly crochet month for me, with two large projects on the go that have taken up the majority of my crafting time.
