Hello all! Thanks so much for stopping by - especially when I'm being a very bad blogger at the moment. There just never seems to be enough time to do everything I want to do - especially with New York City beckoning on the doorstep!
I will be back soon with some updates on what I've been up to in New York - including meeting up and bargain-hunting with the fabulous Marjie Kemper - but for now it's a quick sneak peek to tempt you over to Calico Crafts for my latest creation there. I'm actually ten days late with this project because my laptop collapsed on me - so I'm relieved finally to be able to share it with you today.
If you have time to pop over and check it out, that would be lovely. We're almost at October, so there'll be some new challenge projects very soon - watch this space! Hope you're all thriving, and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Joy is not in things; it is in us.
