It’s Sunday and the twins have a party to go to. I’m all out of gift bags, wrapping and my appliqued calico bags that I usually use for parties. I do have loads of fabric. Loads. And I needed something to wrap it all up. And since drawstring bags are on my to do list for the […]

Every month or so a question will come in about the kitchens I’ve done. And I’m always jealous that someone out there is getting a new kitchen. Most of the time I can help except when asked how big the subway tiles were? If you’re after all of the details of the kitchens I’ve renovated then […]
