When the last stimulus check arrived in our bank account Ben and I were tempted to spend it on something we would both love–an adjustable bed. We had been taking my parents shopping for theirs and we both fell in love with a split king that was incredibly soft. For about 2 or 3 days… Read More

“I didn’t even know it needed to be done until I see it now—and Wow! It’s just beautiful.” One of my daughters said that to me over the weekend after she saw the completion of one of our latest projects around the house. We recently gave the wall our television is on a “makeover”. We’ve… Read More

All 4 came from different backgrounds–2 teachers, a photographer, and a retired administrative assistant. We had a variety of levels of sewing skills… Read More
