Between dealing with a squirrelly brain and deciding to take it easy, I didn't get very much done this week. Oh! Except for getting the garden started, whee! Anyway, I thought a lot and drew a lot and even sewed a fair bit, so the week actually turned out pretty well.

Next week: more conversations, and continuing to take it easy… I might look into sewing fabric pots, since apparently that's a Thing and it neatly combines three of my interests: gardening, sewing, and experimenting with lasers.
