  1. Great post! I found your blog from Spoonflower – I am trying to branch out and create some stuff there (my screenname is palmettohandmade). Maybe we can swap some fabric and purchase each other’s designs when Spoonflower is out of beta! :)

    I am also a follower of Christ. I love you blog and how God-centered it is! Merry Christmas!
