Welcome back! For me, I think things are best described as busy, but boring. My wedding dress has officially been dropped off for alterations, our household is obsessed with Hades II, and I’m already eager for winter vacation. The tourism in my area is about to hit its peak and I don’t love it. That being said, October is absolutely flying. Does anyone else feel the same way? Anything exciting on your calendar or are you in … Continue reading Links: Quilt Shows, Kresley Cole, & More →

She says she’s laying on a lifeboat or (maybe) a plastic life raft. She’s holding on to keep from sliding or flying out.

A … Continue reading Cover Awe: Watercolor, Flowers, & More →
