We're jumping back in time for a bit to the end of May with an update on all that I was able to stitch on: some wins and some fails. I had a VERY successful trip to the craft thrift store for some vintage charts/kits which I am so excited to share. Also, aliens make an appearance in a very typical Doctor Who Christmas Special type of way, haha.
I hope you all enjoy this update video. Timestamps below and chapters will be included if you need/want to skip ahead. No harm, no foul.
THANK YOU!
