Just Good Shit: 01.23.22
Hi, pals! This was a chill and cozy week, made better by the fact that it started with a Monday holiday. We made Parmesan chickpea soup (so easy), listened to JP Brammer’s audiobook (even better than the book, which I also loved), and watched the Beanie Mania documentary on HBO Max (absolutely delightful). I also got a ton of yarn and started working on my first big project of the year: a mallard duck!
Here’s what else I had going on…
