T-3 days and counting!

I’ve been working pretty much every second I haven’t had stay-at-home-mom duties (which means those precious napping hours and after bedtime). It’s been a huge amount of fun, but more than a little stressful as well. I don’t have as much completed as I would like, but this is a good day to get out […]

Everyone should do this just once

I always thought I was a pretty decent piecer, that things more or less fit together as they should and lay the way they were supposed to. Then I got my longarm and started practicing on some real quilts.  And that’s when I realized I needed to actually, you know, learn how to piece well. […]

Thinking about doing business in NY as a small craft vendor?

This is not legal advice IN ANY WAY.  This was how I started my path to filing as a business in Saratoga County. I admit it was a little daunting to get up and running (and who am I kidding, I ain’t there yet!), but I was honestly surprised and pleased to see how helpful […]
