Tea Cozy
I promise I’ll follow up on the spring rolls soon. Cross my heart and hope to knit with nasty scratchy acrylic. But tea cozies always get me excited (obviously, I don’t get out too much.) Matt is moving his studio back to the house, which means that the space I appropriated for sewing had to [...]
Forest? Trees?
