For those who celebrate in the United States….Happy Thanksgiving Day and may you have many blessings to count.
For those who don’t have this holiday, may you have a very happy day and blessings, too.

Chloe, at Tangled Thread, has created a unique Christmas tree yo-yo, actually […]
The end of 2007 is approaching faster than most of us would like to think about. Some of us don’t have any quilting/fabric art related items to declare on our taxes. Others operate quilting ventures as a business. Either way… that means we must consider wrapping things up taxwise.
Kelly, at b5media’s Taxgirl, will be answering year […]
