Happy Wednesday! I just got home from a weekend with friends where all we did was play board games and eat junk food and it was AMAZING! This week, Sam and I are working on rebuilding our apartment now that all of my sewing stuff is out of the way and safely in the new office. It feels really empty in our home space! We will be trying to make it cozy before the holiday craziness sets in. I am also hard at work on a new pattern and loving being in the throes of sample sewing and tweaking. Without giving too much away, this one will be a great layering piece to pair with York or Blackwood!
