Thank you in advance for your support! The orders I receive through my Etsy shop helps me to continue creating and sharing at the rate I do, thank you for giving me the opportunity to do that, and to share my ideas with you!

Weekend News : :

What a wonderful weekend! Kevin and I took a little road trip down to Harrisburg for him to run the marathon. He had trained all Summer for the Erie Marathon back in September, but unfortunately tore a calf muscle during a long run just a few weeks before. He worked so hard to rehab and thankfully felt strong enough to run. Since he started running a few years ago he made qualifying for Boston his goal, and he did it!! It was amazing to see and we are all sooo proud! I shared lots of snapshots of our trip on my Instagram, which I especially love for special moments like this one!



Today, Haila is home with a cold, keeping me company while I play catch-up! Right now I'm having two sales -- A Wool Blend Felt sale with Coupon Code: FELT20OFF and if you mention with your order that you love scraps, I'll include a generous designer fabric scrap bundle with your order!



And, a Fox Pillow flash sale that ends tonight, with Coupon Code: SAVE5 for $5 off any Fox Pillow Cover and you'll receive a FREE pillow insert, too!! 

 
I wish you all a great start to your week!  ♥  Maureen
