Crafts To Do During Quarantine – I know you’ve heard it left and right and maybe it’s just in your brain (as in mine) but I needed to write to you readers and express my thoughts on the state of our troubled world. Here’s how we navigated by COVID-19 and here at The House That Lars Built.
As creators for hundreds of thousands of people every day, we are in a unique position to provide richness and diversity (both!).
