Yay, I'm over on Abby Glassenberg's While She Naps podcast today! I'm always nervous when interviews come out, afraid I will have said something dumb! I just listened to it and I think I did ok!  I did this interview last week and it was super fun. We talked about my new fabric line called Yummies.
