I keep scrolling on the internet, reading stories about how one of my favourite bloggers/writers touched people's lives. She had a far bigger impact than I realized. I sure will miss her blogs, books, and snarky comments online when challenged by power-hungry leaders who probably felt threatened by her bravery and intellect.

I aimed to cover many… Continue reading Embroidery, Sequin, and Bead Eclectic Bag Creations!
Adorning Fabrics; More Vintage Sheet Finds!!
I love to adorn fabrics with embroidery and other things. And if you've followed enough of my work, you also realize that I love bright colours. This photo below shows my embroidery thread stash.
