For Christmas this year, we all made stockings from scraps from the free shelf. It was really fun, and the stockings are pretty hilarious.

Judith—

All is well! I have been in Texas for some time, dealing with some family issues, but should be returning to Montana soon! I haven’t made time to play with my loom, but perhaps I can do so soon!

BRK Day 127

Built a deck for the greenhouse last week. Also built a trap door. Needed to do some chiseling to inset the hinges and avoid a tripping hazard.
