Deadline Approaching!
“This week has been a sweet respite to get back to working with my hands, with joy, in a beautiful, restful and inspiring place.
Instant community. I had no expectations for this-magic, instant community doesn’t just happen. But here it was. And right when I need it so desperately.”
Julie Eastwood, Session 6 Kristina Arnold
