Hi! I'm Patty, a 30-something and a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Texas. Read along as I get used to life in the suburbs, nest in a new home and sew my way through Dallas.
Morning water snakes! It’s raining hounds and hares in Minneapolis and after much wrangling with WordPress I’ve FINALLY gotten my classes page updated with August classes. Whew!
