The company I work for has an amazing benefit – every few years we get an extended amount of time to focus on balancing our work and our life, while doing some professional development or volunteering. This is my third sabbatical – after 19 years. I chose volunteering as my activity and got to makeContinue reading “6 weeks”

My destiny is baby quilts. Which is ok – because I love them. With a baby quilt, you can finish in a weekend, use fun colors, and try out some ideas.

Another Baby Quilt
Things have been hard the last few weeks. Some of my favorite blogs let people into their world – are honest and share the struggle so we all feel a little more human, like we are in this thing together. I want to be able to do that – but it is hard. Hard toContinue reading “Another Baby Quilt”
