Well ..... august has been a heck of a month!!!! so much so so much happening. Some pretty big stuff too! So, where to start? I have just dumped photos in here so lets just pick them off, I made a bit more progress with my wheel of the year from Carina Craftblog on insta. Im loving this project and now i am retired ... (I know I kept that quiet!) I hope to get more up to date with it.
