I’ve been a bit brain-dead the past few weeks. It’s performance season in the land of music teachers.

Project of the week
My goal is to do my blog post on Mondays. Let’s pretend it’s last Monday, ok? I definitely was NOT ignoring my goal and playing Skyrim and sipping tea all day while it’s rained/snowed outside.

Name Suggestions Needed!
This summer there was a different twist to my activities – sewing! I pulled my BEAUTIFUL machine (husquavarna viking) out from the closet and set up shop.
