New Desk
Last Saturday, Mom, my sister Bunny, and I met in nearby Havana to do a little antiquing. Mom and Bun just wanted to have fun, but I, on the other hand, hoped to conduct some serious business. I wanted to find furniture for the new …

A New Crafting Space and More
For the last six years, I’ve been using the dining room as a makeshift crafting room, sitting at the big table to paint and sew. Well, the other day Rob and I started talking about how I needed better spot to work in, and we …
A Few Little Improvements
