spring garden update 2019
Now that the kids are on summer vacation, spring is in full swing here in MN! Seriously, that’s how long it takes!! The garden is finally more than just a few sprouts.

Well, maybe they were here before now, but now is when I finally found them! The only difference is that these are much … Read More
sewing room plans
When we’re not doing fun summer stuff and when I’m not working at my desk or easel, I’m hoping to get some projects done around the house.
