Hello 2016!! Wow..Can you believe that it is the year 2016? 2015 was an interesting year. There were some unexpected lows and awesome highs. I won’t talk about the lows, as they weren’t much fun and I prefer not to dwell on them. A chance change of scenery gave our family a much needed boost. My husband was offered a new job that relocated us across the country… View Post

A few months ago my sister-in-law asked if I would make her clear pouches for her business receipts. She accidentally misplaces a few receipts each month and it drives her crazy tracking them down. An envelope was my inspiration. I added colorful bias tape and 2 brass snaps to make the pouch professional looking… This wallet turned out to be very handy – it’s slim… View Post
