• National Pet Day

    Did you know it’s National Pet Day? It’s a day to do something a little extra for your pet, maybe a second walk, two treats, extra loves, and hugs.

  • Our January Sale!

    Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but I always take some time the first week of January to clean out and re-distribute.  It feels so good to go through things and think about what I might need for future projects and what can be donated.  My studio can quickly become a mess after one series of patterns finishes up and another one begins.…
