Reflections on 2020
Let’s face it. 2020 was not the best of years. It had a few good points, like lots of time in the spring, during lockdown, to cook and bake and work on my giant cross stitch that, after 4 years, is 1/3 done. Yes, I love ridiculously complicated projects!! Stitching is one of the things …
