Yarn Bombing
I recently took part in a community yarn bombing project. At times my local town can feel like a bit of a lost cause, so I jumped at the opportunity to help spruce it up a bit. I’m usually quite a reserved person but I felt like this was a chance to restore some hope… Continue reading Yarn Bombing
