The Bold Trek
It didn’t seem like a block wrapped up on the third of December should count for the December goal, so I decided to knock out another one … and with the […]

The Best-Laid Plans
This post is going to get all technical, because this block had a whopping 37 pieces and no clear path to put it all together. It seemed like there ought […]
