This is why….

I need a baby-proof wallet. She did it again. I’m ordering hardware tomorrow.

Amazing invention!

The THIMBLE!I’ve never used one before. Clearly, as they’ve been around for hundreds of tees, I’m late drinking the koolaid, but OMG they’re amazing!!! I have tried them before on my thumb or index finger, but it turns out they go on your middle finger. I was able to FINISH 2.5 sides of my quilt […]

More Easter prep…
