I am trying to start the year a little selfishly (self-care adjacent?) Mostly I make things for others which means some of my stuff, house stuff, hubby stuff gets put to the bottom of the list. I am also trying to spend more wisely & mend when possible. Christmas often doesn’t get thought about until crazy busy time in november. So there are a few themes in my posts & future projects
