Today I mailed off the second half of a fun project to the ladies over at Smitten Furnishings on Etsy. (Check them out. Their shop is DARLING!

I've had people ask me if I really #1. Have a scrap bin and #2. If the fabric I say I used from my scrap bin really came from my scrap bin.

Which elizabeth is it?
Ok......we've had quite a few comments from people complaining that they want to know which elizabeth is posting what. So, we've devised an ingenious plan (or something like that) to let you know who is who. If there is poor grammar and any references to soda or pajamas I'm the elizabeth who is posting and from now on I'll sign all my posts with -z.If the instructions are clear and the ideas are super cute it is the other elizabeth who is posting and she will be signing her posts with an -e.Now ...
