Saying Good-bye to the Frog Tape Blog Squad
There’s a special place in my heart for Frog Tape and the people I’ve worked with there. When I was just an itty-bitty-brand-new-fresh-faced-blogger, I wrote this post about using Frog Tape for a project. I hated painter’s tape and stopped using it entirely. I could do a better job cutting in by hand than dealing […]
The Mustard Seed Pages is live!
The Mustard Seed Pages is live and ready to go!! So, what is it? A few months ago, I mentioned getting a quilt for free from Layla at The Chapel Market. This prompted a conversation in the comments of that post from readers who wanted quilts and then from others who had quilts they wanted […]

first coat on the rocking horse
I keep hoping and planning to get back into some sort of schedule or groove, but snow days, cold days, hospital visits, doctor appointments, holidays…all sorts of things have prevented that.
