How many weeks until fall arrives? I’m LOVING this weather and so thankful to have the windows wide open every day right now. During nap times last week, I sewed up a little fall inspired product line. It’s really the first time I’ve ever sewn for the seasons, and I had fun doing something different.… Read More
