Happy New Year and welcome to January! I know that apart from the number nothing has changed since the ball dropped but I hope the year will be softer for all of us and that 2021 will be what you need it to be. Our […]
Hi makers, how are we all? Incredibly, we made it through November and are now in the last month of the year! November was such a wild and overwhelming month to be online with the US elections and their aftermath, and the following bombardment of […]
