Live From Houston!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CVdT-fLr4kR/ Life is good. I am short. This is awesome sauce. Right before this moment I was kind of goofy dancing in that middle aisle between my students.

Quilted Features: SewBatik Diane Magidson

Okay, so here’s what Happened and Then

It's been a week and it's Wednesday, and had to check that by hovering the cursor over the time on the laptop.

Craft Napa Postlude

Before diving into the Craft Napa experience I want to share a couple of things. Last week I purchased a coloring book with positive, affirming sayings for myself and a friend.
