I’ve been meaning to share this forever, but you know, life and all. I made a couple additions to Atti’s room in between the time he came home and the time we transitioned him into his own crib. For starters,…
Seed Beaded Bangle
Gosh I love seed beads. I don’t know what it is, they just make me happy. I love them. But I don’t love most of what I see made from them. I have the same problem with crochet. I prefer…
