Hi all! I hope this post finds you well.
I had a few computer meltdowns this past week. I had originally planned to post this several days ago but I lost my original draft twice and had to rebuild after dealing with the other tech issues. The reason I'm sharing this with you is this: I was already emotionally invested in these posts and I was able to remember most of them.
As a consolation for lack of exposure, I'm sending each person with a post older than four days at the time of posting 0.5 SBD.
Please enjoy these posts as much as I did and leave the authors some love.
Onward to today’s rambling
"Google" is NOT a valid "source" for photos! 
@thekittygirl has written this very helpful post about how to properly use images found on the net. She makes it very clear that not all images found on google are free for use. Thanks @thekittygirl!

Gardening Top UpCycle Inspired by A Sister's Love 
@borrowedearth will be Maid of Honour in her sister's upcoming wedding. While the dress is beautiful it won't work well with her homesteader's tan so she decided to do some upcycling and create a comfortable work shirt that will help match her tan lines to this special dress. Nicely done @borrowedearth and Congrats to your sister!

Needlework Monday – My suffering over my sleeves 
@tali72 had a pretty sweater but the fit was terrible so she embarked on the nervewracking project of alteration. I think it looks beautiful! You're a very talented Lady. If you're like me and have a "few" unwearable garments this post will give you ideas to bring them back into the light. Great post @tali72
Mama's Hands💟 
At the Creatives' Coffee Hour on Monday @enginewitty touched my heart and reminded me that the projects we're creating will be generational treasures. @enginewitty's Mom made this beautiful set for his little princess. I know this piece will be well cuddled for years to come because every stitch was created with love. Thank you @enginewitty!
