Art with friends is becoming an important part of my long-awaited release from confinement in a classroom 5 days per week. Nearly 7 months ago my crazy busy life of childcare work was restored to stillness. For too many years the trap of work kept my need for introverted solitude firmly in place. I kept happily to myself during my precious few bits of downtime. But now that the shackles of work have been cast off, I wish for more meaningful interaction with other Homo sapiens.
I am persistent in tuning the astral dials and finding my people! Growing older alone is a unique experience that requires like-minded companions to bounce ideas back and forth. I’ll continue to chronicle my experiments in navigating the currents of adult friendship. It’s a topic I’d like to find more people writing and thinking about.
Iris is recovering nicely after having 4 teeth extractions last week. Otto is having his dental experience in a few weeks. By February the Moss household should be back to normal. I’m amazed at how quickly Iris has recovered and am grateful to the vet I’ve finally found for longterm care of the cat posse.
On My Bookshelf
Currently reading Family Happiness (1982). Thanks for the recommendations fellow readers. I’m grateful to those of you who share similar taste to mine & dislike bestsellers and/or celebrity bookclub endorsements. I’m crossing fingers that I love Barbara Pym as much as Elizabeth Taylor so I can sink deeply into a month of reading everything she’s got. Neither of those books would have crossed my radar without your input.
My friend Chrissy has written a book of Jane Austen’s imaginary lost letters (upper right). It was illustrated by her friend Lizzie Nelson. They have self-published it on Amazon. I’m enjoying the experience of reading a letter or 2 a day!
A friend gifted me the rather extravagant Sabbatical 2012 by Miguel Flores-Vianna. It is a reproduction of his handwritten photo journal. Gorgeous and evocative. It’s another book I am savoring by reading one or two entries per day.
Sewn
Just as I offered my 2012 Ticket to Venice class freely back in November, I’ll be doing the same with Sewn beginning in January. (access good for 6 weeks or so)
I’m gradually converting some of my older online classes from paid subscriptions to password-based access. I don’t want to dismantle them entirely, as I still think there’s plenty there of interest and value, even all after all these years. That said, I’m no longer offering support or answering questions about the material. Think of it as a self-guided experience. If you’re reasonably adept at figuring things out without a hall monitor, you should be fine.
If you’d like the password for Sewn, please leave a comment below. Once January rolls around, I’ll send it along. Herding requests in the comments is far easier for me than tracking emails, which have a mysterious tendency to wander off.
By the way, you may continue to access Ticket to Venice for the remainder of 2025, but I’m no longer sending out the password for that one.

I just joined Substack and subscribed to you first! I’d love to try Sewn I’d still available!
What a generous offer! I just now caught up with you and would love to dive back into SEWN again, so yes please! AND my birthday was Dec. 31, so what a great gift! Every time you show a visual journal, it takes me back to such good times. How lucky are we to have found this mixed media world? Actually, I still have several celluloid albums that are unused; if you know anyone who would like them, please let me know. I’d be happy to pay it forward! Thanks!
I would love the password for SEWN if it’s still available 🙂
Hello Mary Ann! Please send link to Sewn! Thank you And thank you for Your generous spirit, and inspiration!
Once again you’ve shared a journal and generated inspiration, thank you. I’d like the Sewn password, please.
Would love the password for sewn.
Thank you for all your generous sharing
Sewn password please! Please let me know if you ever want any ephemera in exchange.

Happy New Year (🤞🏼) Mary Ann!
Hope I’m not too late for the Sewn Password.
yes, i would like to have the password. thanks a lot!
I would LOVE the password to get into your kind offering of SEWN for January. Did i miss the hint? I have been subscribed to DFLA and now your substack. Could you please send it the password for SEWN? Thanks!
Hello!
I’m a retired teacher too. Students are often delightful but so is retirement.
Would it be possible for me to have access to Sewn?
I’ve enjoyed a couple of your other classes but this would be a new one for me.
Either way, I hope your 2026 is full of goodness.
I would love to dive in to Sewn. Thank you so much for the offer!!
Hej Mary Ann,
Thank you for your offer! I would love to take the Sewn class, I did full tilt boogie, sketchbookery and stitchbookery years back and love them still…Greetings from Denmark
Kristina
I would love to revisit Sewn please and thank you!
I have taken so many of your classes over the years and would love to take Sewn! I can’t remember if I signed up for this one or not! Thank you!!
And isn’t retirement awesome?!!! I am a year in and loving it!!!
Hello fellow retired teacher! I would love access to SEWN. Thank you for being so gracious and steady. When life has gotten the best of me, I’ve always found comfort in your blog.
Xoxo
It’s so lovely to see you again (I have taken all of your classes in the past) – please can I have the password to Sewn. HNY
I am pretty sure I took your class Sewn years ago. Please send me the password to Sewn:) Thanks so much! Happy New Year!
I’d like to have the password for Sewn. Thank you. Happy New Year!
Hello Mary Ann,
I would love to have the password to sewn. One of my favorite classes I took from you and have yet to finish my journal. It would be a joy to review your videos again. Thank you kindly, Diana
I have really been enjoying your videos at substack. I took some of your classes about sketchbookery ages ago, but never got around to SEWN. I would love to though.
I have really been enjoying your videos at substack. It is truly inspiring to see other peoples skrtchbookd. I took some of your classes about sketchbookery ages ago, but never got around to SEWN. I would love to though.
Thanks, Mary Ann! SEWN was a fave, and I’d love to revisit this class. xoxo
I would love to take the Sewn class, I did full tilt boogie years back and still use the techniques.
Happy 2026!
I would so enjoy access to SEWN again—
I’ll be going on a paper hunt-
Many thanks as ever!
Happy New Year. I would very much appreciate the password to SEWN. For years my sewing kit was the one I picked up at hotels. I bought my first sewing machine when I took your Stitch-bookery class. I would love the opportunity to dust it off. You may have already read this one, but I just finished and enjoyed The Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood.
Would love to take your Sewn class! Thanks so much, and Happy New Year!!
Would love to take your Sewn class! Thanks so much, and Happy New Year!!
I’m enjoying your video missives on Substack! I would love to take the Sewn course, it is the only one of yours I never took. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I took sewn years ago and would love to revisit it. Happy New Year!
Wow! I’ll bet those kiddos miss you a lot! Please send the password for sewn, was thinking of revisiting “remains of the day”! A new venture sounds awesome! And to the rest, Same, girlie, same! Getting older is a journey unto itself. Much ❤️
Happy New Year! Anything from you in my inbox box always brightens my day! So happy you are exploding into this new non-working chapter of your life. You’ve inspired me in immeasurable ways. Please send the “SEWN” password so I can revisit that class. Now that I am retired, I have more time to dabble in art as these type of activities bring me the most joy. Here’s to a New Year filled with fun new artistic discoveries filled with color, texture, random treasures & inspiration collected on daily walks. Cheers! Nan Dodson
I had no idea you had continued to blog! So glad I stumbled into that discovery. I would love to revisit your classes and I hope I am in time for Sewn. So sad I missed ticket to Venice. You are an inspiration about navigating retirement which is hot on my toes. How do you do it?
SEWN please and thank you!
Would love the password please❤️
Hi MAM!
Loving the substack videos! Yes please to SEWN access. It would be a hoot to revisit that content! Thank you! Kas
Happy new year.
SEWN pass please and thanks. You are kind.
It’s a bright, sunny day right now in Port Orford, OR. Expecting the arrival of the Sky River , tonight.
Stay safe and well
Lori
I’d love to explore SEWN – thank you so much.
I always enjoy you postings and seeing what you are up to. Yes please I would like the password to SEWN.
Congratulations on your well-earned-long-awaited retirement. You’re going to be great at it! 25 years down the mixed media rabbit hole and you’re still my fave, Mary Ann Moss. I would love to revisit Sewn and thanks for sharing the password. Happy New Year!
Your posts are always such gifts. They always make me smile, inspire me, make me want to turn off my devices and get stuck in with my journals. Thank you for all that you share!
I’d love to revisit SEWN and so appreciate you keeping the classes up! I’ve taken many of them multiple times throughout the years and always get something new out of them.
I think I took Sewn years ago. Would love to revisit it!
I will join the chorus requesting the password.
Very much enjoying reading of your freedom and seeing all the book recommendations.
Thank you Mary Ann, for all these years of solace, sustenance and inspiration!
I’m so glad you joined the retirement club.
Please send me the password to Sewn. That class and Ticket to Venice are the only ones I have not been previously enrolled. In my own retirement years, I hope to revisit them all.
I’m on the lookout for your smoke signals.
Wishing all the best for you in 2026!
Thank you Mary Ann, for all these years of solace, sustenance, and inspiration.
I’m so glad you’ve joined the post-career club.
Please send me the password to Sewn.
I’m on the lookout for your smoke signals!
What fun, as always, to see what you are up to! I would also like the password for Sewn.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas Mary Ann! Would love the password to Sewn please. It was such a joy to go through Ticket To Venice again, thank you so much x
Would love the password for SEWN. Thank you so much!
SEWN
Hi Mary Ann!!
I love visiting your blog! It is my favorite. My retirement journey has gone similarly to what you describe. I began to wish for more friends and meaningful interactions with like people. I, too, found a small group of art friends and now am meeting up with them regularly to make things, chat, lunch, or sometimes do outings. It is fabulous!!! I sooo do NOT miss working! I am glad you are finding your way so well.
BTW, I recently revisited Stitchbookery and I still LOVE it!
I would love to have the password to SEWN as well!!
Happy life in retirement world,
Susan
I would like the password for Sewn, plz And thank you kindly!
Please send me the password for Sewn. I love all your classes and go back and watch all of them periodically.
Enjoy your retirement…I sure have.
Lane
Hi Mary Ann.
I’d be very grateful for the password to the SEWN CLASS.
I missed the class on Venice and I’m very sad about it. No way to access it again?
Have a good day and thank you again
Would love to work through SEWN again,thank you! Enjoying retirement as well, though not solo, takes a while to figure out some structure to the days. Thanks for sharing your process with us!
I’d be very grateful indeed for the password to the SEWN CLASS
I took a course from you, way back before you changed your blog format. I think it was “Remains of the Day” and it was fab! I would love to take “Sewn” , if you please. Haven’t commented here for a long time, but am subscribed to your blog…always enjoy seeing what you journal! I journal mostly every day in a little Hobonichi, and then other art journals too. Thanks for all the inspiration over the years!
84 Charing Cross Road, oooh a delight – evocative of a London that is long past, but maybe in the more bookish corners, a trace still lingers. Wonderful armchair time travel. Thank you so much for the gift of Ticket to Venice, it was like visiting an old friend.
Sewn is exactly the class I was hoping to re-visit next – serendipity! Thank you for your very generous offer – these classes still have so much fizz in them; I’d love the password please.
Hi Mary Ann. I would love the password to your Sewn class. I enjoyed your Remains of the Day class years ago. Thank you so much!
Recently retired, and although I loved teaching, I love not teaching even more!! 🙂 I missed the opportunity to access Ticket to Venice, so I’m thrilled that you’re offering access to Sewn- a very generous gift of your creativity! Please include me.
First, it was good to see Pam’s smiling face. I often wonder how she is doing. Second, I enjoyed 84 Charing Cross Road years ago, but haven’t thought to check for more books. I will now after reading one of the comments. I would love to have the password for Sewn. I thouroughly enjoyed Ticket to Venice last month.
Loved Elizabeth Taylor but Barbara Pym not as much. xo
Hi Mary Ann, im so glad your retirement is going well and you are able to make time for creative shenanigans 😊 I look forward to when i can do the same. I have been a long time follower of your blog. I always look forward to reading all about your adventures and send smoke signals back to you. I would love the password for sewn please. Sally-Ann
Yes, please, to Sewn; the colors in the preview video is so uplifting and I love patterns.
Finished Venice, the first round, and while the city is magnificent, I do love watching you make and work in journals. What a treat. Thank you.
I must tell you that , 84 Charing Cross Road, is and has been one of my favorite books for many many years . I’ve read all of her books and visited the former site of the bookstore. I hope you enjoy it, too.
Happy holiday ans stay safe and cozy.
I’d love to receive the Sewn password and thanks so much for offering the classes. I get as much out of your videos now as I did the first time around.
I noticed 84 Charring Cross Road in your list of books. I loved that one. It is in my short list of favorite books ever. Helene’s cozy, newsy, concise missives filled me with things to mull over at leisure.
On the topics of adult friends, I find it hard to find one’s people. I know tons of perfectly nice people, but the people you can make a life-long connection with don’t come around everyday or year. Good luck. I hope you find scads.
Stephanie, I can’t wait to start it!
As for friends, I must remind myself frequently that I am fortunate to have some good ones in my life, but alas I am greedy and wish for MORE play(soul)(art)mates.
I would love to redo your Sewn course! all the best from The Hague in the Netherlands
I’m interested in receiving the password for Sewn when you release it. Stitchbokery, which I took in 2017, is one of my all- time favorite courses.
I would love the password to Sewn. Thanks in advance.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I would be interested in “sewn” class. Love reading about your adventures post retirement keep them coming.
Would love to do “Sewn”!!! In January it will mark my last 5 months of herding 4th graders👏 will fantasize about this course until then😉 Merry Christmas to you and your fuzzy tarter-free family 🐱♥️🎄🎅
Please send me the password to Sewn. Thank you for your generosity.
Would so enjoy the pw to SEWN. I’ve taken classes in the past. Still have my book from Ticket To Venice from many moons ago. Thank you!
I’m a silent follower for many years and love your posts and viewpoint on life. I feel like we’ve met but we haven’t (although I know Pam from retreats in the US and Italy.) I would really enjoy the password for the Sewn class. Thank you!
love the photos and sketches , as usual it is always inspiring inviting me to play loosely and enjoy the marks! would love access to Sewn- thoroughly enjoyed the armchair travel all those years ago with Venice- could practically hear and smell all that goodness and maybe felt the waterspray from the oars of the Canal dwellers… Thank you in advance, i have plenty of fabric waiting!
It sounds like a comfortable life you are creating. I am a solo flier too, not retired yet, and am inspired. I would appreciate the password to Sewn, I took that class years ago and would like to see it again.
I love to see your emails. Thank you. I saw on Substack your amazing art. You are so encouraging.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year
Oh yes please…..I’d like to try your class…. Have never done an online class…..now is the time to try.
I would love to have the password for Sewn.
Thank you so much.
Hi Mary Ann. Would love to retake your Sewn class. Thanks for sharing!
MAM, 84, Charing Cross Road is one of my favorites. It was funny to just have been looking at old photos from stitchbookery and then see your note about sewn.
Yes, please send the PW.
Someone here recommended it to me I think, Penny…can’t wait to start reading it.
Sister! I love that Mother Nature has decorated the front gardens of Moss cottage so splendidly!
HO HO HO!
Sister!
Hi, I would love the password for Sewn. I see you are reading 84 Charing Cross Road–one of my favorites! I just finished Family Happiness (again). Every copy of The Correspondent at the libraries I frequent has a long list of borrowers waiting for it–so I might have to buy it. Happy Holidays to you! XOXO
I was no 475 or so in the queue for The Correspondent – took a couple of months at least for it to arrive, but it finally did. so good! Thanks Sandra xo
I loved the flip through of the 2013 journal. I just scheduled some PTO to have a LONGGGG MLK, Jr weekend and I have all the plans for an deep dive into exploring all the supplies in my studio!! Re-acquainting myself with the Sewn class will be one of those things – oh the weekends I took my machine to our Gussie retreats for sewing journal pages!! So thrilled with your retirement! blessings.
oh do enjoy that PTO. I remember how delicious the days and days of NO WORK spread out in front of one can be, Celeste.
Happy Holidays Mary Ann! Have enjoyed revisiting Venice through your class, & would love to see Sewn again! Please send the password when available. I’ve forgotten how much I’ve forgotten since taking your classes! So happy retired life is pleasing to you! Hope your quest to find “your people” leads to many (or a few ) good friendships! If I lived near you & fit into the correct category, I’d be there in a minute! You continue to inspire in all your endeavors! Cheers!! Nan Dodson
Everyone is in the right category who has the time to devote to cultivating friendship & community xo
Pam’s studio looks heavenly… All that light! Sorry to hear about the tooth escapades tho, not fun for anyone. Moss cottage is looking beautiful as always.
Sewn password, t’il vous plait. I may have taken it before but can’t remember for sure!
Sewn ! I would love access please❤️❤️
Love your email/newsletter…would love the password to sewn when it becomes available?
I have followed you for years, although I am not very vocal…just know I am rooting for you always!
thank you, Olivia xo
SEWN I would like to access that please.
Sewn
I would love the password for Sewn. Took your Gouache class a few years ago. Loved it! I have also been a long time reader of your Blog.
I have gratefully found that solo-flying females of a certain age are good at taking care of each other. We are also very good at sharing celebrations, no matter how small. I’ve long admired your creative exuberance, and I’m now looking forward to ideas about how solo fliers inspire each other. Carry on!
Barbara Pym is one of my very favorite authors, especially now when one requires an escape from current times. So many of her observations about female/male relationships are still true-unfortunately! Her dry British humor about it all makes me laugh.
I would love the password to SEWN and thank you for being so generous in sharing your creativity.
I’d love the password for Sewn. I’ve been on a creative “hiatus” during 2025, not intended but it just seems to have been that way. A bright and cheerful MAM class may be just what I need to kickstart my creative juices flowing in 2026. Wishing you all the best in 2026, and, isn’t retirement just the best!!
I’m bananas about it!
You mentioned the Art Mammals group. How does one join that or is it a generic name for art makers who are mammals? My poor art has suffered as caregiver duties have taken over my life.
I so enjoy seeing you share your work on Substack and wearing those cute wigs!
Info in past posts, Sylvia. The groups have formed already, but as you’re a local I can put you on the standby list!
Would love the password to SEWN!
Yes, please send me the p-word for Sewn! I also cannot wait for the next A.M., Inc. gathering!
loved our first gathering and look forward to No. 2!!!
Oh my goodness Mary Ann, thanks for offering bonus access to your classes! It’s so kind of you. I too believe they have lasting value and inspire creativity… I’m glad you’re giving them new life. I would be delighted to have the SEWN pw. Now that winter is upon us, it’ll be there perfect art project.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year… and welcome to the chapter of endless ‘me’ time! I’m glad you’re finding and gathering your people.
Dede
I would appreciate the password for SEWN very much! After that lovely sneak peek, I can’t wait to see the process. Wishing you the happiest of holidays!
OMGEEEE! I must have the book of Austin’s imagined letters! I am sending link to my hubby now as a brick sized suggestion for my January birthday! I would be deliriously happy with password for Sewn!!! I love your correspondences and shared moments! Thank you for your generosity!
I recently purchased a book, but haven’t read yet. It’s by Molly Peacock and it’s called The Paper Garden…An Artist Begins Her Life’s Work at 72. it’s a Bloomsbury publication about the life of artist Mary Delaney. The book has many illustrations of her botanicals,done in mixed media form. Some are housed in the British Museum. I think this right up your alley!
sounds fantastic!
I would love the opportunity to take the class SEWN. I bought a new sewing machine to replace my grandmothers which found its way to me some 30 years ago. It is sixty some years old and I still like it better than the new one which requires me to find a YouTube video every time I need to thread it. Very complicated and almost all plastic!
Merry December!
You probably already read Oldster, but in case you’re not:
In reference to reading about friendships & more, as we grow old(er). You can submit essays too, hint, hint. 😉
Oldster is great!!
I love reading your posts!
I adore your classes! Please send Sewn password.
Also, I am so glad you are finding your people!
Please tell Pam Garrison she is missed in the online world, and it’s so good to see her spending time with you, doing what she loves!
The password for Sewn, please. Your generous soul is so appreciated- thank you you.
I’d love the password for Sewn, thank you! I enjoy reading about your book recommendations, I am hoping my local library has some or all of them available for perusing.
Thank you for offering SEWN. I would love the password. Im currently collecting/ curating all kinds of bits, pieces, papers, and fabrics. Im a preschool teacher in the Reggio Emilia Approach which def feeds my need to save everything—a double edged sword. Looking forward to peaceful January and wishing you the same!
Best wishes,
Maria in NY
Sewn, please. I took your Remains of the Day class ages ago, and made a journal of my trip to Italy. It is one of my favourite keepsakes!
I would love the password for Sewn! I remember taking back when it came out and I have somewhere in a binder the printed out PDFs from your classes that I took. I will have to dig them out sometime!
Hi Mary,
I so enjoy reading your blog.
I’d like the password to SEWN please.
Very happy seasonal times.
Best wishes Sheree
I know exactly what you mean. I’ve recently found my art people and it is such an pleasure to create together.
I’ve taken your SEWN class a few years ago and I’d love to go back again.
Lots of holiday wishes from Germany!
here’s to finding our people and receiving lots of art & soul nourishment
Glad to see you are enjoying retirement so thoroughly! Sewn is one of my favorite classes you ever did, so please sign me up for a password notice. Hugs to you and the kitties!
Dear Mary Ann,
I would love access to Sewn✨✨
Wishing you a beautiful and wonderful-filled holiday season xx
Much love from me, Liezl
Ns eagerly reading your retirement chronicles. One day soon I will retire too✨
Oh I’m happy to hear your retirement is speeding towards you. Mine couldn’t arrive soon enough. I understand!
Wow, I’d like that password. Glad you are thriving in retirement. We get paid to stay home! I love it.
Yes! All those deductions, contributions, and savings etc., finally after decades made it possible… grateful
I’d love to receive the password for Sewn. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Mary Ann I’d love the password for Sewn how wonderful. Happy holidays
I finished The Correspondent yesterday, and loved it! Thank you so much for recommending it. All of my best friends from college scattered like the winds, and we kept up a heavy letter writing schedule for years, until cell phones. It made me very nostalgic for the fat letters we used to send each other.
I am interested in Sewn.
Yes, yes to fat letters written and sent. Let’s zoom some sewing sessions in January!!
I would love the password for sewn. Thank you!
I would love to revisit Sewn, thank you for your generosity!
I would love to have the password for SEWN! Thank you so much Mary Ann! Love reading your blog. I’m a retired teacher too who loves art and can relate! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
I’m SO looking forward to Sewn. Thank you for your generosity ❤️
So glad to hear that you’re enjoying retirement. I’m still at it in the classroom (4th grade public school in Salinas, Ca) – and yes, it’s exhausting. I turned 55, and I took advantage of the Willie Brown Reduced Workload this year. So I took the 1st part of the year off, but went back early, because they were rotating so many subs through my class. I went back 3 weeks early, so not too bad, and now I’m on winter break! Your posts are fun to read, keep it up :). And glad you’re kitties will be okay (I also have two, plus a Bodrder Collie). Take Care, Jamie
I have a friend who went reduced workload and just retired this year. It’s a wonderful way to prevent burnout and still accrue your service credit!
I would love to revisit Sewn again. Thank you Mary Ann!
I would love to have the password for SEWN, too. Thanks so much and happy holidays!
I would love to get the chance to enjoy Sewn as I have loved all the other courses I have taken of yours! Thank you so much for sharing, I truly appreciate your kindness 😃
SEWN password please and thank you!!
Your poor kitties and their teeth AND the indignity of wearing a cone. Vinny and Mabel and I send our regards and get well soon wishes. I realized that I haven’t been getting all your blog posts but some manage to squeak through. Sad to miss the Ticket to Venice password, but as a former Sketchbookery and Oh My Gouache student, I would love to get the Sewn password.
Oh Mary Ann thank you for offering one of your classes. I would love to participate in Sewn. The first class that I took with you way back when was Remains of the Day and it remains (pun intended) as my favorite class. I also remember Ticket To Venice which I still have some ephemera from. Perhaps one day you will revive and update Remains of the Day 2.0. Thank you!! and Merry Christmas.
I’d like the password for Sewn please. Thanks very much and happy holidays.
I would love the Sewn password !! I didn’t take it because I didn’t had a sewing machine, but I do now !! 😃 Thank you !!
Yes to SEWN, please!!! You are so kind and good to us, Mary Ann. THANK YOU 🌺
I would love the password for Sewn. I previously enrolled in your classes.
Thank you
SEWN…I took a class of yours years ago and it opened my eyes to mixed media, thank you! I always enjoy your ramblings, book suggestions, arty things and of course, cat pics.
Happy New Year ahead! I would appreciate a password for Sewn. I enjoyed Sketchbookery tremendously many years ago. Happy to stay caught up with you and your antics through newsletter and Substack. I’m a 12th year teacher looking forward to the glory days of retirement😊
Hang in there Sara. Teaching now is much more challenging and aggravating than it was 30 years ago. I’ll blame it on micromanagement by the jackasses in charge. You’ll get there by hook or by crook xo
Oh my gouache, I would love the password for SEWN! (See what I did there?!)
😉
Thank you!
I would love to revisit Sewn again. I really enjoy your classes and style!
I took the sewn class but would love the password to revisit the instructions. Thank you!
SEWN, por favor!
Humbly,
Pennie
Love how paint swatching has starring roles in both your posts today….never gets …xox
