I curse the name of the person who invented wallpaper.

Your treats, on the other hand, look very nice!

The B’loonies were just silly fun and the sheep tape measures are really popular at the shop - rumor has it that is measures things in lengths like 7.35″ and 12.61″ so Sylvia *can* learn some new numbers.

The mini-hank of yarn is undyed 100% alpaca and one of my first go rounds at spinning on my wheel. As you can tell, I’ve got a lot of practicing to do!
