Reaching Out, One Stitch At a Time
Many of us are finishing up last minute shopping, or gift making. Maybe you’re just making decorations. Or maybe you still have no idea what you’re going to make! (this has been me more than once!) Whatever the stage your at, I’m pretty sure we …
It’s Thursday, which means it’s Giveaway Day! New England is getting cooler, and my backyard is looking beautiful with all the fall color (which, in my opinion, is the best part about living in New England). I was looking through my patterns, wondering what I …
