Winding It Down & A New Word
Here we are almost at Christmas time! I had to look twice to be sure that I read the blog right. I haven’t posted since Dec. 1st! Time sure got away from me this month. It has been a busy season with classes, long arming, and being involved with the Nutcracker performances. I wish I […]

A Good Iron
So I’ve been through quite a few irons over the last 16 years. Some I started out loving only to be disillusioned a short time later when the iron started spitting water, or wouldn’t heat any longer, or refused to do its job. Finding a perfect iron is frustrating because I’m pretty sure, the perfect […]
