This week my fabric busted is gifted fabric. 3 yards for a birthday gift to a guild member, the one who gave me that awesome reindeer ornament, and another 3/4 yds. to another recipient, and another 1.5 yds to another recipient. But the last two don’t know it yet, so I won’t say who. I did [...]

I started a little basket.
Lord knows I needed another project to work on right now, so he made sure I stumbled across this one from Bunny Hill Designs…lol. It’s called a Tisket A Tasket, and it’s a free block of the month.

My stash report is very boring this week. Nothing new in, nothing new out. As I stated in my previous post, it was a stressful week last week, between my son having hives, and getting caught up in some stupid drama at work. And tomorrow starts a new work week. I hope it’s a better [...]
