This blog is mostly about my various sewing projects, but other aspects of my life will tend to creep in from time to time.

A different kind of productivity
We have been relaxing these past few weeks, and I have learned a new skill: making jelly! Eight jars down, four to go. I am making grape jelly with the grapes from my grandfather's back yard, which is really a lovely feeling.
That brings back memories! The house I grew up in had either 10 or 12 grapevines so we made fresh juice and jelly every year after giving away bags of grapes to all the neighbors.
I'm a 22 year old Roman Catholic girl and just finished my last year at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. I love sewing, reading, thinking, and spending time with my family.

Oh, that's wonderful! I've been having some trouble getting my jelly to jell properly, but practice makes perfect, I suppose!
