Once I’ve put a healthy, hearty family favorite soup on to simmer, I’m racing to my basement sewing studio to sew cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads . 

Or, I’m putting the finishing touches on crocheted throw rugs made by me from upcycled materials (cotton or wool selvage) for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
