I bought four sewing  magazines two months ago when I visited Portugal, one of them is in Spanish language called MODA de Pasarela. I checked the magazine when I arrived home and I noticed that the content of the magazine is all f...

Three weeks ago, I got an email from the lovely SUE of A Colorful Canvas . She asked me if I'd like to join "the blog hopping" and of course I said yes! I had such a great feeling and excited to know that other blogger decided to pass the wave of the blog hopping to me. Before I answer four questions, I'd love to thank Sue for nominating my blog. Sue is a Canadian lady who loves styling and sewing her own clothes. She loves color and she plays a lot with it for her personal style. I met her during MMM'13 and I was impressed with her cheery style and happy smile. Well, if you guys still don't know her, please feel free to say hi to her at A Colourful Canvas Image of Sue from A Colorful Canvas Now, the questions... WHY DO I WRITE? The answer is simple, I want to connect to the sewing community and to share my projects.    Also, writing a sewing blog is the way for me to document my sewing progress complete with up and down experience. ...
