Tinkering with Fiber Arts and Wood
I, like many folks during the COVID-19 pandemic, picked up a couple quarantine hobbies. After a whole lotta yarn (and a whole lotta Michael's Rewards Points), I discovered my love for fiber arts and wood projects.
I call this entire process "tinkering" because I approach this as a casual and admittedly amateur form of experimentation, but I've thoroughly enjoyed the process of getting thoughts out of my head and turning my ideas into real, tangible things.
