It was cool. It had been about five years, I think, since I'd been to it, but the Sewing and Stitchey Expo my mom and I went to yesterday was a really fun place to find out about some new stuff, and pick up some things I haven't seen anywhere else. You know how I was kind of bummed to be fin...

      Here they come. The signs of spring. It's still darkish, dampish, and mostly dreary, but everywhere there are signs that things will get better. I choose to believe! I've been embroidering daily from about 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. I am pretty much constantly embroiderin...

Valentine's Day is nearly here.  We know, its hard to think the Superbowl will never actually come and go, but guys, on February 2nd, the honey-moon will be over, and it will be time to start thinking about the female equivalent to the Superbowl- V-Day.  Don't fret, though, we...

Photo by M.V. Jantzen Things were clearly a bit disorganized by the time my friends and I got to the John A. Wilson Building for the D.C. Council-hosted 51st State Ball. We didn't run into the security mess City Desk reported, but there was no signage or schedule posted anywhere, so a lot of people ...
