I’ve been out of pocket since the weekend. Here’s the reason:

Here’s a few more ideas to try. I keep a file of all these neat things, but I’m not sure I’ll ever get through them! Just like my fabric. I keep adding to my stash, but I don’t think I’ll ever use it all.

We had a fun time in Houston yesterday. We met up with our daughter, had breakfast, and then we went to the scuba expo. My husband picked up quite a bit of information on diving parks and resorts. He’s a dive instructor and dive master so he’s always looking for new places to go. Jenifer [...]

I’m taking the plunge into blogging! We’ll see how it goes. I work full-time, and I spend a lot of my free time sewing. At one time I sewed clothing, but these days I enjoy quilting.
