This was a tough month for reading. The twins have hit a new stage in growth. (Tantrums, walking, talking.) And Dusty and I are hard at work on our new shared retail space in downtown Woodstock. Made Mercantile is a collaborative makerspace and retail shop. The space is funded by the DDA and set to open in November! (Here’s the website for more info!) We’ve been busy getting product ready and balancing our design work.

So to the books:
