Hi there! You've stumbled onto the creative blog of Rochelle New (that's me!) I like to sew and share the project process with those who care to read. I'm a total dog mom and post A LOT of pictures of my dog. She's super cute though so I don't think people mind. She's my heart and soul and the reason I started Lucky Lucille! That's my crafty handmade brand that you'll find on my online shop, and appearing at miscellaneous craft fairs. Thanks for stopping by! http://luckylucille.com
