Episode 46: What’s your crafting journey?

Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope this episode is ok. I had to restart a couple of times, because was rambling all over the place!

What I’ve Been Up To

We didn’t do a whole lot over the weekend, but we did get a hike in on Saturday at Brazos Bend State Park. Sound familiar? I just left this in here from last week, because we did it again. 🙂

I also got my Ladybug this week, and have been spinning a little every day. It’s still pretty rough, but I am definitely improving.

In this episode I talk about my crafting journey. I would love to hear yours, either in the comments or in the Ravelry group!

Still working on the 12 Days of Christmas Sampler from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. Almost done! I’m beginning to hear the Chariots of Fire theme song in my head!

Episode 45: I’m so excited!

I hope everyone had a nice, restful 3-day weekend, if you were lucky enough to have Monday off! I know I really enjoyed that extra day. I always feel like that extra day is just a little gift. And then I completely waste it. 😉

What I’ve Been Up To

We didn’t do a whole lot over the weekend, but we did get a hike in on Saturday at Brazos Bend State Park. I think we saw about 20 alligators.

We went out to eat a couple of times. We had lunch at Beck’s Prime on Sunday, which is good, but overpriced. Then, on our unanticipated kid-free night, we ate dinner at Great W’kana Cafe, which was delicious.
