Seriously?
I got excited to make one of Carrie Nelson's new Little Bites patterns, and since I had two packs of those mini charm squares on hand, I cut out some fabric yesterday. "Drop" is the name of the pattern, and I plan to make the version pictured at the bottom of the pattern photo. Adorable,…

Oh joy. Be still my heart. Look what arrived on my door step. My extra blacks and neutrals for my Halloween 1904 half square triangles. And you know what else? Eva took a super long nap today and I was able to finish all of them! The stars are now in alignment and the cosmos…
