Projects

In the south, we call these "projects". These are the handicrafts of home remodel, seasonal decor & dabbling in new hobbies. The south also has two seasons distinctly made for investing in an indoor hobby: the heat of the summer and the middle winter. Namely, August and February. Two typically dreaded months of weather, perfectly curated for deep cleans, room updates, finishing projects, sewing, candle making, garden planning and whatever else you may find inside.
