I did a last minute sign up for the Spring into Color blog tour set up by Sewing by Ti. This tour centers around the Pantone color palette for Spring 2018. I decided to do the boring classic colors, mostly because I signed up late and they were really the only ones I had on […]
My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – Ummmm…yeah. I got nothin. Sewing – My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was to sew with buttons. I think the intent is to tackle buttonholes.

My kid is a huge Marvel fan, and once he saw the trailer for the Black Panther he was all ready to see the movie. It looks really, really cool. Unfortunately, he has been a bit sick this weekend, so no movie. I did get the lounge set sewed up for him with Black Panther […]
