Hello crafters! I hope you are all well. I have been sick for the past week. I took two different Covid tests because a couple of my co-workers had Covid recently. Thankfully, I was negative both times and it turns out I have a sinus infection. They gave me meds at urgent care and I'm starting to feel much better. I'm so far behind on everything but I'm sure somehow it will all get done. I'm trying to just enjoy the season. I took a drive last night to look at Christmas lights in my neighborhood. That always makes me happy!
