I’ve been keeping busy this summer although a bit on the quiet side. Working on projects, patterns, sewing, sewing and then some more sewing. It’s hard to find the mojo when all you want to do is have a mojito in a hammock and chill out.

Someone I marvel at where she gets her energy from is my friend Kelly McCants of Modern June. Let’s see… she has a  groovy husband, two great kids (that she home schools!), runs not one, but TWO businesses (Modern June and Oilcloth Addict) and just wrote a crafty how-to book Sewing with Oilcloth!! I have a dog, one business and chronic insomnia. 0_O  Oh well! Good thing I have good friends that spur me on and show me that big things can happen if you persevere.

Sewing with Oilcloth book shout out to the pattern testers

Wait a minute! Who is that last name listed? Oh – That’s me!!! I got the honor of being one of the project testers for Kelly’s book. It’s a bit thrilling to have my name in print floating out there in the world. Perhaps it will happen again with my own crafty book in the future. Hmmmm…
