It's mid-March and we're feelin' the heat! It got up to 79 degrees today and for most of the country that wouldn't seem out of the norm but, I live in Minnesota and it's just wackadoodle!  The heat is making me feel all SPRINGY inside and so of course, I must do a spring project.  This time it ended up  involving something I rarely do - SEW. I can't believe I even attempted it without my mother-in-luv holding my hand. I have to admit, I'm really proud of myself! {insert pat on the back … [Read more...]
