I’ve scrapbooked this photo before, but I really wanted to re-do this one with Lawn Fawn flair and Blue Skies! Nothing like being goofy...

I love this photo. It was taken on a cross-country road trip just as my friend Kelly and I crossed the border into West Virginia. The sun hadn’t quite burned off the night-time fog, so there was something a bit surreal about the whole thing. And then we cranked up “Take Me Home, Country...

Anyway, I’ve gone back into software development, which is a huge, huge change. It’s so strange–I’m quickly re-engaging a part of my brain that’s been...

Sometime last March, I picked up the pattern for Amy Butler’s Stash & Dash bags. Super cute! I’d never sewn much more than simple lines before, but I knew it would come in handy sometime. Skills?
