It's a bit loud today as I'm cutting out circle templates using my laser cutter! Learn how I'm having fun 

We're catching up this week on news around the house in our new Teahouse! We've just had a Teahouse gazebo installed in the front yard and the biggest challenge will be never wanting to leave it.

Betty is doing great, almost crawling and loving the sound of her voice (sorry if it got a bit loud!)

I share some projects in the pipe as well as a bit of secret sewing / quilting and news about our new Circle Template Set:  https://leahday.com/products/circle-template-set

I'm celebrating the New Year and sharing my goals and dreams for 2022 as well as my new Word of the Year!
