The theme for this week’s Iron Craft Challenge was “home,” which feels really appropriate after the events of last night and the devastation that happened to our neighbors yesterday (we only got lots of rain and wind here, so we have nothing to complain about). The inspiration for my little ornament came from the round […]
Celebrate Earth Day Every Day in a Crafty Way
