Woah! I moved this blog to WordPress.org at the end of December 2016 and the last post I wrote was in mid-January 2017. Three years and a half have passed between then and today. Who could have foreseen that I was going to abandon the blog for such a long …

New Year, New Site
Happy 2017! You’ve probably arrived here from my old site at WordPress.com. I know that my old blog has been quite dead for some time, and since I’ve been experimenting with self-hosted WordPress for my other site about Audiobook Reviews, I decided to move my crafting blog here too. I had …
