One thing that having a “non-essential” job did was put crochet back on my to-do list. I have been busy making gifts (mostly afghans) for friends and family when I realized that I never made my best friend an afghan.

When I make you something, I give it to you when finished. The only exceptions are when I find what I am making for everyone for under the tree at Christmas or if there ...
