Water Meditation

Interested in mindfulness and meditation? Check this out. Sup pups?

Make with Me

As we continue sharing good habits in 2019, we want to remind you why it’s always a good time to pick up a creative habit. Stitches knit in January of 2018 : 73,260 and counting… and now I’ve started off 2019 by ALMOST finishing a sweater for Luc before realizing that the sleeves were two different circumferences. […]
