I decided to make a quilt.

Here I am thinking about what I’ve done.

I also live with Lo. Here she is in a pile of bags she made with her own two hands!!! Her company is called çanta which in Albanian means “bags”

My guitar likes to look at our view of Montreal.

When I leave my home, I like to go for walks with my pals and say hello to the trees. Here is Emily and T saying hello with me.

To me, Emily looks like an arbutus (my favourite tree.)

Here she is wearing a garlic scape as a bracelet. Or is it wearing her?

Emily really knows her way around raclette.

Because I can only see pals outside, we often walk to the top of the Mont Royal. Here is Lili being sad that we can’t wrap our arms around each other. I miss her hug, she’s good at it.

Anyways, here’s me in my quilt. It shall keep me warm this winter :~) Thanks for tuning in! Stay safe out there ~
