  6. I love the meaningful motto, it's so true! I've never seen a moonflower before but it looks beautiful and I'm sure even more so when it opens up at night!

  9. Love the motto. That is my biggest problem. Being new to sewing I am scared to cut into the beautiful fabric that I am addicted to buying! But it is through the mistakes and trials that you learn. I must release my fears!
