Now, all it needs is a third coat, but it will have to wait now until after we take P to the airport.


saturday notes:
will miss p while he's in england, but he will see his mum and brother - and my dad, which is good.
i have signed up for stephanie levy's creative courage course. it's a seven week course and i think it will be fun if n will do it with me. i'm hoping it will help me to take my crafts a little more seriously and push me to take more risks.
finally! i finished the hunger games trilogy. yeah. now onto murder and mayhem ...
