So if you have partial balls of yarn in your stash, this might be a good one to use them up. It… Continue reading Vertices Unite- Done!

Here is what the first month of this subscription brought me: The theme for this month’s box is Forest & Field and how can I not like a tea called Neon Forest?… Continue reading Why Yes, I Would Like to Have a Tea Adventure!

This block represents Glacier National Park, specifically the Going-to-the-Sun road which is a feature of the park. For more about this park, check out their website here.
