Time to start a new list for the final quarter of 2019. This quarter will be a tough one. Next week I get to start taking my sling off to do some gentle exercise on my shoulder. Being able to resist the urge to do “just a bit more” will be difficult. I’m not sayingContinue reading “Q4 Finish Along”

I was looking for photos for my favourite finishes of the year and discovered that I am so bad at remembering to take pictures. I’m sure that by the time I finish and need to get things in the mail, I am in too much of a hurry. At least that’s my excuse and I’mContinue reading “Best of 2018”
