At the Craft Gossip Fork & Talk I attended recently, one of the activities we did was to start working on one of the embroidery kits that was included in our goodie bags. This is a Dimensions Crafts Java Coaster/Cozy, which the company’s website tells me retails for $14.29 but I think I saw the […]
