Sorry for the lack of posts. Took about a month to settle in at the new place and then I got sick, but today I got my new desk and now it feels like home, I will be cutting opals very soon π
Remember to clean this all down and pack it away, gonna be moving at the end of the month and hopefully have a whole new desk and set up next month or new year
