Fall arrived on the calendar this week, and I was dancing a jig. Not literally, but in my mind. After a few days of much needed rain the weather has…
A caterpillar, a dance, a castle, and everything in between, with Kim and Juliet How can one be so excited by a caterpillar? I have been asking myself that all week.

A lazy Saturday, fabric samples, and five things worth your time this weekend Good morning, friends. It is going to be a cloudy, lazy Saturday over here, so there is no excuse not to stay at home.
