I hope all is well for everyone. I have not been sewing or creating anything but I have been lurking at work because I don't have internet..yet. I'm too pissed to even get in the details. BUT, I love what everyone has been creating and I now have my very one creating space so hopefully I can share something soon.
Hello Everyone, I hope everyone has been being creative. I have in a sorts No, no sewing going on over here. Just packing up and moving to a new place.
