• Halloween Costume – A Dancing Princess

  This week I finished putting up my Halloween decorations. I made a few new ones this year, since my old ones were simply falling apart.

• Using Up Those Embroidery Test Sews

  I would have to call myself a fabric junkie. I love solid colored fabric and prints and buy it even when I have no earthly idea of what I will do with it.
