Featherweight Fun with a Friend
I recently spent a fun day with a friend who was willing to be a guest on a video I posted on my Youtube channel and Facebook pages. Luckily, she's a good sport with a sense of humour, and we spent as much time laughing as we did sewing! Check it out below, and be… Continue reading Featherweight Fun with a Friend

The journey that has led me to this particular moment has been interesting and if you'll bear with me, I'll share some of it with you 🙂 As I contemplated whether or not to include a… Continue reading You are what you do
A Personal Perspective
When my Facebook page hit 500 likes recently, I did a video over there with some personal insights and a lot of gratitude.
