Taking life one cup at a time…
So, a few weeks ago, I turned 40. Forty. 4-0. It’s so strange. For one, I do not, at all, feel like I’m forty. I can still remember being a lot younger and thinking “gosh, forty…that’s so OLD!!!” I, for one, definitely do not think that I am old. I mean, I just had a …
I can’t say how many times I’ve been in a conversation where either I don’t feel like I’m being heard or I realize that I didn’t hear a single thing the person talking just said. I hate admitting that, but it’s kind of a fact of life. Sometimes, I sit there, and someone is talking, …

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m slightly obsessed with squirrels and owls. That’s why when I saw this great squirrel-rabbit thing owl fabric available from Mabel Madison, I knew I had to make something with it. For the longest time, I wasn’t sure what I was going to make. Then, I saw the Dublin Dolman designed by New Horizons, …
