Taking a break from sewing, I watched a little Project Runway (old episodes). I have to say that I don’t watch this show, but as I was watching it, I got inspired by Kenley Collins. I saw a blouse that she wore while working on on of her projects and I was off looking for [...]

I am joining Zoe with her ‘Me-Made-May’ endeavor but am going to be going with the extra-lite version since I have only completed a few projects. In the lite version, Zoe proposes that we wear at least one handmade item each day but since I don’t even have enough for that right now, I am [...]
