Having a Summer affair?

I haven’t posted many book reviews on here, but amidst all the chaos with my exchange students visiting, I have been escaping by reading A Summer Affair: A Novel. A very quick read with an engaging plot. How many of you have had a summer affair? Or if you haven’t,

Illustration Friday and a new project

Illustration Friday and a new project

Gosh, I haven’t done illustration friday in so long that I’d lost the button off my sidebar. Funny tho, this one came and I just knew what I wanted to do – the theme this week is “Forgotten”: Call it the “Jessie the cowgirl” or “Velveteen Rabbit” syndrome, but there

I’m Sewing Mama, I’m sewing!

I’m up late, stressing about life and yet updating my sidebar with my projects I’m working on. Oddly, with too much going on, I’m actually finding a lot of comfort in digging out some old projects and completing them! The baptism pillow is in the mail (hooray) and I dug
