They say you know it’s fall in Florida when the licenses plates being to change. Unlike our seasonal visitors from “up north” we do not have changing foliage as an indicator of fall. This year, I decided to welcome fall with a South Florida style creation. Over the summer, I had a new AC unit [...]

Plus a tutorial… One of my closest friends recently became a single dad. This is his first ‘Mother’s‘ day. I decided to stitch up a quick and easy gift to help him celebrate. I purchased 2 handkerchiefs – I guess I could have made them, but at $1.00 each, I was figured it was worth [...]
