Wednesday Weekly #149

Happy Wednesday! I just got home from a weekend with friends where all we did was play board games and eat junk food and it was AMAZING! This week, Sam and I are working on rebuilding our apartment now that all of my sewing stuff is out of the way and safely in the new office. It feels really empty in our home space!
