2017 Summary Part 2: WIPs

My WIPs leftover from last year are all my big projects, which to be honest, I hadn’t worked on in months. However when I got them out, I could not resist starting in on them; they are now “active” again. Here’s where I’m at: Random Thoughts by The Drawn Thread, maybe 1/3-1/2 complete: Ohhh I do still love this one! […]
