Hello
If it weren’t for the pandemic, I would have loved to make another trip there this year. The last time we visited the Big Apple was back in 2017, when we stayed for a week in early December, right on time to enjoy the beginning of holiday

These are all so cute! I just made my best friend an ornament out of felt and was going to make one for myself but it took two hours to make hers. Maybe I’ll make myself one of these instead!
