Although I don't mention it very often, I do other things than crafting. This last weekend was second weekend of season for teaching motorcycle safety.

In consulting with the lead instructor and On-call, a delay in riding time was… Continue reading Lavender Layette
Workbasket – quick update
Sadly, most of my UFO's, PHD's, WIP's, etc's have had no progress.

I have plans to use all the lace as a peek-a-boo slip for the walking… Continue reading Make-Do and Mend – lace
