Hello again! Today I’ll be talking about the first steps I took in making one of my latest sewing projects: a long denim skirt. Let’s get started!

The Rose Years

Hello! Today is the last post in a series I’ve been doing about books connected with Laura Ingalls Wilder.

It’s not too strange, considering where we live. As I look outside right now, it looks like a blizzard. But, that’s just the way it is! I did end up pairing this…
