*Full disclosure – on day 18 (today) I worked for about 1 1/2 hours. It was time, I think, to get this project done. I’m done! It took me about 10 hours total. This is pretty slow, I think, but I did have a few issues with the machine tension, etc. And honestly, I amContinue reading “What can I do in 30 minutes a day? Parts 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18*”
