I’ve decided to start a new item called “Food Friday.” I enjoy posting about food related items because I find they are often somewhat crafty in sort of creating an edible craft. But I’d really like this blog more to be about sewing and crafts. So I’ll stick to doing food items only on Fridays…

DetailsMy goal recently has been to get through old projects. I’m really making a concerted effort at doing so as well as using existing fabric.
