In a half assed attempt to fend off feeling like a loser (ie my business tanking because of no longer having access to the US market which was about 60 percent of my Etsy and 90 percent of my wholesale customers) I decided to rearrange the apartment. I’m now in the what fresh hell is this stage.

A weekly roundup: I made lots of buttons, met a cute dog, got my 5 year cancer checkup, and experimented with making DIY collage kits. Hanging in there.
