Black & White

I love the contrasting artwork by Wee Gallery and intend to use one of their freebies in a picture book I’m making for Jemma. It’s amazing to me how she focuses on things already and I’m hoping pictures such as these will even further entertain her little eyes. I found each of these articles quite […]

Kate Quinn and the start of my life as a seamstress

On Saturday Mom, Auntie Hannah, Jemma and I drove to Seattle to visit the Kate Quinn Organics Outlet. Because that’s what bargain hunters do. They find something they love and then find out how to get it on sale. We scored on a number of items including the next size up of my all-time favorite […]
