Stash Manicure

Today I'm a guest blogger over on Stash Manicure!! I was so honoured to be asked to contribute to a blog I've admired!
Go check it out. I'll wait. Go. I give you some new ideas for nine patches.

Just have too much stash?? Or looking for something special from a while ago? Check out another of Niki's great idea's My Stash Booty! Can you tell she likes word play? No? Keep reading.

Most of you know about my work with Stitchin Heaven, designing their Charm School and Perse-Anality monthly clubs. You didn't? Oh well you do now! LOL
Well I went a beggin' to Niki over at Stitchin Heaven and she agreed to give one lucky reader a goody bag!

Note to commentor Pat: I also have ME and Fibromyalgia (plus Crohn's Disease)and for a long time couldn't manage to do anything but found eventually I could do a little, and then a little more on good days. On bad days I still think about sewing even if I can't do any! Good luck and hang in there, there are good days :); January 27, 2011 at 2:41 PM
