January Scrap Happy Day
I’ve always enjoyed playing with scraps, but have been making a concerted effort to use up my stash and my scraps since the Pandemic began. I have purchased some fabric in person when storefronts finally re-opened, but find shopping on line to be an imperfect solution when the stores are closed. These past two weeksContinueContinue reading “January Scrap Happy Day”

September is done already? Was your month a good one? On a personal note I was busy this month with working for Federal Elections.
