Loved the chat on Mercury Retrograde, I've never really known the reason but heard a lot of people sayings this - of course, I could have done the googling but I much preferred hearing it from you with a good story!

Thanks, Jess! So funny. I bet there are tons of us who never researched Mercury Retrograde, but still feared its arrival. I find the actual explanation pretty fascinating. It's a good reminder that we are but tiny specks in a vast universe.

Thank you for the shout out!! It made my day. I’m currently dealing with a bout of “the crud” so I needed that little pick me up! Mercury retrograde is going strong in my neck of the woods too! So many thing went wrong yesterday, it was comical.

May this pass quickly!!

Another great blog post. Is the party roll something the teacher invented? I googled the term and just got a bunch of recipes, nothing related to weaving.

Aww. Thanks, Jeff. ❤️ Appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. You're the best. The instructor may have invented the term "party rolls." I'd never heard of it before, but it's a cute idea and essentially a decorative garland to hang on a wall. I'll send you a photo of the one included with the class description since the listing is no longer up on the organizer's website.
