A kind soul sent me a package that contains two items she thought I would like. First of all, I was very surprised to see that aprons were sold as yard goods, to be cut out in pieces and stitched together. She sent the same apron yardage in two colors, blue and pink. Do you [...]

Will be making an official announcement of availability soon!
About this time of year, when the exterior environment has taken on autumn hues, soon to be replaced by winter’s colors of white, black, and gray, my thoughts turn to last May and a patch of Daisies that grow near the old clothesline. ...
