Oops. Did that sound braggy and unkind? I really only meant to be braggy. So let’s explore, shall we? There are flowers blooming every which way you look.

Wow. Who would have thought that I would have such high-class women (tractor-owning gals!) vying to commit virtual blog-related adultery with me?

Woop woop woop! I finished my swap apron for the Apronista’s Spring Swap. The instructions were a spring-themed apron, and my swap partner likes pink. I bought the flowery fabric last summer and this seemed like the perfect project for it. It’s a lightweight seersucker floaty kind of fabric. I did some embroidery too, because [...]
