Sew much fun! – Sewing classes at Stitch Budapest
My grandmother has this old Singer sewing machine that I never really learned how to use. It was so intimidating. In high school, we only ever “learned” about the parts of a sewing machine, and the closest thing to machine sewing that we got is...
Top 3 things I want to learn in 2013

On a scrapbooking roll!
Since the boyfriend is away on business again, I have a lot more free time to do some stuff. One, I am finally able to tackle those pesky household chores that have piled up — like waxing the floor. I think my floor hasn’t seen...
Scrapbooking and spa weekend!
I had a super fantastic weekend…too bad it was so short! 😀 Saturday – I was finally able to visit the Rekindled Moments store on Taft Avenue. The owners were gracious enough to accommodate me, eventhough their Saturday store hours end at 3pm (we were...
