The (Bi)Weekly S.C.R.O.L.L.
This is actually a mash-up of the last two weeks.
Last weekend, I hosted and vended at a holiday market where I sold a single item. This weekend, Suze and I met my side of the family in Phoenix, AZ for our annual Hanukkah get-together.

So, you’re getting two weeks worth of updates in one S.C.R.O.L.L. today.

Sometimes, you have to try the costume before it becomes the clothes… Sometimes, we have a boy with a dangly earring, and then you wait five years, beautiful women on your hands.
