#NaBloPoMo – My Mind’s Made Up
I’m the type of crafter who needs to see what my project will look like before I get started, so I often spend a lot of time in the planning stage mapping out what my projects will look like before I get started. But of course, that can’t always be the case. There are times…

So, I’ve decided to close the website for my web development business, because I just don’t have the time to take on new customers right now.

With all the fun, exciting things going on in my life, I’ve been quite a slacker on all of my crafting and sewing projects, including my quilts.
