We had such a great time at the Makehouse on Fort St in Victoria on March 11! Victoria's downtown core was alive with raindrops and bustling feet. I even found a parking spot not far away! I have been in love with the ambiance at Jenny's Shop since the first time I saw the photo of her window display online. Jenny Ambrose is so sweet and is passionate about reusing. The new fabric classes for lingerie shows in the various items hung around her shop.!  Her classes are full of interesting fashion and home decor that would suit most learners with new stuff being added all the time. Also, what is coming are more quilting classes and for a video view of her shop, this video is a great promo of herself and her concept once you are at her site. In the meantime, quilty folks!

These chapters are a way for me to search out my own roots in the crafting I do and asking myself is this what I thought it would be like, some ten years down the way? Back in 2007 when I started this blog, I knew nothing about blogging. I did it in secret.

You know, right, who would do such a thing without consent! Its been this blog, Good
