Since we were seeking cheap last minute flights to Europe in July, I decided Iceland was worth a look. I’ve been warned about the crowds now visiting Iceland and one of my goals for this summer trip was to avoid Europe crowds in July. Our base was an Airbnb in a non-touristy town called Hverageroi, near […]

Birthday Traditions part 2
I love to celebrate birthdays with my girls. With each year passing for each child, I feel like it’s my birthday too. I made it around the sun another year with them. I was there the day it all started, the moment they were born. So crafting a special day for them is something I […]

Journey to a serger
For years I have gotten by without a serger. All the while I had one sitting in a plastic bag that my aunt found at a yard sale for me. But it intimidated me. I could still make things like this little fat quarter dress. But then it frays and I have to cut the […]
