So I find myself in a mental pickle. I’m delighted to participate in the Doll Quilt Swap for the second time, but I find myself a bit uneasy. I entered into the last round as a newbie. I had no expectations of getting in and no expectations of what I might receive. I had, what

Alright, everyone! It’s confession time again. 😉 How did we all do this week? I’ve already confessed my purchases which took place right after last week’s check-in so I almost wrote that I didn’t buy anything. It’s just been a (gasp!) whole 6 days and that feels like forever.

Oh with the holidays and international shipping, it was a while before my partner Mandy from the last round of modern swappers (now Make Mine Modern) was able to receive her package. I wasn’t able to share very much of what I was sending her because it was all too specific to her and I

So I don’t know that I’ve been getting a lot of quilting done lately, but I’ve certainly been playing on the computer designing logos for a few different groups lately. It’s all design work, so I never feel like it takes away from what I would like to be doing. It’s just working in a
