Ahhh, hello world! I’m back! Sounds like you all had a lovely intro to my squeeze last week. Mmm, yes. Ain’t he a catch? I’m a lucky girl. Should I invite Russ back for a guest post next month? I’m all in favor of the “Living with a Quilter Blogger Survival Support Group”…as long as […]
When All Else Fails, List It On Etsy
Um, hi! Long time no see! Buuuuuusy week for me. The holidays are rapidly approaching and I’m holding on for dear life! SO, Holiday Handmade Craft Fair was this weekend, and all I can say is thank goodness for Etsy, because things just didn’t work out how I’d envisioned. But let’s come back to that […]
