String was? Yesterday I crafted together for the first time with the kids. The day before, I went to the hardware store to get boards and nails. String Art refers to creating a...

what happened in the past weeks

Still marked by New Year's Eve, we headed north. This means: heat, dryness, and endlessly long distances between the stations. Since the New Year's recovery was not yet...
