What We Are Learning
AJ: The Yankees are AMAZING and are becoming MUST WATCH TV!
Chris: Been watching a lot of YT videos on the Edison bulb and DIY lamps and sconces. What’s an Edison bulb? So in the not too distant future, I will be making new lamps for our living room as well as wall sconces for the stairway in my house. I also hope to add a retro-looking or steam-punk style lamp to the studio here.
Stacey: Stacey is getting out of her comfort zone!
