Sitting in my sunroom, enjoying the warmth of the sun, reading this book by @bkobett but examining the moves and the impact it has specifically on marginalized students. I’m still in the Introduction and it already has me asking questions/analyzing my practice.

Look what came in the mail? I’m so excited to try my hand at quilling. Thank you @MelPeterPaul for putting this beautiful kit together. Your talent is an inspiration! I am so thankful for the many resources this land and its animals have provided for this kit to exist.
