My sister taught a class on how to make a Yule Goat. I helped write up the tutorial and we had so much fun with friends!

I'm working to clean and organize my Mom's house. Mom keeps everything and it's a tricky negotiation but I'm patient and determined. The basement here was completely blocked up before I began the project today.
