let's talk time.

just Elise this season chatting crafts, hobbies and life. This episode was inspired by a few different questions I got about making time for crafting, juggling different hobbies and having patience for longer projects. I talk about how I mindlessly spend my time vs. how I mindfully spend my time and why I am able to slow down as a crafter now compared with ten years ago.
