Lately we've been going through some things as a pastor and wife. Helping people deal with their problems can be messy and emotionally exhausting. Sometimes I feel like walking away from it all. BUT.

Some Sewing for Summer 2014
So now that I cleared up what I did for my sewing this winter, I've been thinking about what I would like to get sewn this spring and summer. I would like to sew: a skirt for myself - I've had the fabric for ages a skirt for each of my daughters a bag each …
