Jenniky - Your mood is contagious. Sounds like things are going your way and I'm really looking forward to more photos of your patriotic town.
I'm sure you will enjoy your retreat.
I'm hoping to start another challenge soon. Need to get my wording right first. Hopefully, before this weekend. I'll keep everyone posted and Franky may make his debut.
Have a great day and enjoy your sewing. Me, I'm working on a killer spreadsheet. Not nearly as much fun as crafts. lol
