Alchemy’s Last Day
Today was Alchemy’s last full day with me. I thought I’d show her how to make a few rings and earrings like the ones I sell at TheApple. First we had to spread out the supplies. I typically create jewelry in the basement but since the girls were gone I decided that we would work […]

Enough with the apple orchard and the traveling – Alchemy was ready to try out quilting! I’d have to say she did a pretty good job. Here she is getting acquainted with my new baby – a Pfaff. My real baby, the Janome is in the shop for maintenance but I’ve been really happy […]
