And, finally…….I don’t know about you, but 102 degree weather always makes me think of Christmas.

What a great way to use those odds and ends of re-purposed and vintage fabric you’ve been saving.
And what is a great handmade gift without a great handmade tag?
HP will blow your socks off with their vintage handcrafted product labels.

Now, go do some reading. Some thinking. And a whole lot of creating.
