All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost: The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost; From the ashes, a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadow shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again […]
Our girl was doing a research project on elephant conservation, so I decided she needed an elephant shirt to wear during her presentation. It was a good little presentation, and she learned the awful things that happen to the poor elephants. She’s an animal lover for sure. Right now she is thinking of becoming a […]

I did a last minute sign up for the Spring into Color blog tour set up by Sewing by Ti. This tour centers around the Pantone color palette for Spring 2018. I decided to do the boring classic colors, mostly because I signed up late and they were really the only ones I had on […]
