Confession time! One of the perks of my new residence is an extra room that is the perfect size for a small sewing studio. It has huge windows on three sides and gets tons of light. No one else uses the room, since it’s off of my bedroom. All of my stash is in this […]
Today is Nigerian Independence Day – 58 years of independence from the English crown.Every year this day comes and goes and I never commemorate it, but I think about it.
