April OMG

April is starting slowly for me. The Covid 19 self isolating and social distancing is having a bit of an effect on me.

March 15-21 Progress Report

It’s been quite a week of fabric fun. I’ve decided that keeping busy while DH shifts back and forth between Canadian news and American news for 6 – 10 hours a day will make me crazy if I don’t find ways to tune it out. My first finish was piecing the flimsy for my projectContinueContinue reading “March 15-21 Progress Report”

Just a reminder that through the stress and anxiety, we all need to remain calm,ContinueContinue reading “March 15 -21 Progress and Goals”
