It’s that time of year again, making resolutions and looking back at who we have become. At 30, I often still feel like I’m playing at being an adult. Especially on those days when I see my friends and family with their grown up lives, having kids and making big decisions. I do have to…

The new season of Project Quilting has started, which is great. I love having inspiration for sewing projects.
