My Pincushion Tutorial is Back – Revised & Refreshed!
Friends, when I think back to the many incarnations of my little world here in Serendipity Woods, I sometimes forget all the details of the earliest days way back in 2008, when it all began with my original (long-defunct) blog, along with a little Etsy shop where I sold things I made.

My Favorite Color Is Moda, with a Twist (complete with idiom segue)
Whenever it’s been a hot minute since I’ve written a post, I always feel like I need to somehow reflect over the time since the previous post, in an effort to bring some sort of continuity into the middle part. Because no one really wants to read one more word about the news of the … Continue reading My Favorite Color Is Moda, with a Twist (complete with idiom segue)
Oh, if you’re a bird…
...be an early bird And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
