My unexpected absence Apologies. Has it really been over two months? I have lapsed in blogging, and while my following is small, I do feel an obligation abot posting.

Latest Craft Fair Not quite the last Saturday, but September 28th, I had the pleasure of being at the Foxboro Jaycees Craft Fair as a vendor. I consider my sell rate a success and was able to introduce a new product line (which I do say with a bit of chutzpah, I know) of tote…

My husband and I have undertaken our second re-upholstering project, which is really just a reprise of a previous project from several years ago. We are recovering chairs. Chairs that were the victim of previous cats: Cleo and Travis, I believe. Speaking of cats, one challenge of choosing fabric was trying to pick one that…
