Arts and crafts and puzzles and so forth

I am loving seeing pictures on the social media of all my friends doing jigsaw puzzles. “Oh damn, one piece missing!” “Oh wow this 5000 piece puzzle took us all weekend!”

Me, I love doing jigsaw puzzles. It’s been a cottage thing forever in my family. Sadly, I cannot do any of my beautiful puzzles because…

Ok there is absolutely no skill involved, but it fills my time with beautiful things!

Ok, see you tomorrow.
