DreamWeaver's Quilts Quilt Epiphany Weblog

On my mind today: Fixing little things before they become big problems. A bit of background to this one: I called the landlady today to talk with her about a few things that need to get taken care of before they take off for Canada in the middle of May. One of the things was [...]
