YOP Update April 1st

 

I find it hard to believe that April is already upon us! But it is and we are nearing the end of the first year.  I managed to sneak in a finish, but it’s not blocked and I don’t have any decent photos.  So I’m going to wait to post anything  about it until I have something more to share.  I’m in the final month of Nerd Wars for this tournament and as always for the last round one of the categories  is finishing a WIP or two.  As you can imagine, I really like this challenge.  I only managed three balls out of my stash, but no balls in.  So I’m still ahead on that.  I even snuck in a little work on Roam! Yay! Anyway, here’s my list.
