Hi friends! I have a fun announcement to make today. Nearly a month ago, Brad’s Insta post (also embedded below) about applying for the Mood Sewing Network caught my attention.

(Brad is amazing, obvs. You should be following him if you’re not already on that train.)

While times are rather uncertain still, I am certainly interested in trying to maintain some “normalcy” in my life and chose to accept the invitation Mood extended.

Here’s what my participation constitutes-

I receive a $50 credit to moodfabrics.com each month from April through June and 4 months of the VIP Insider Program free of charge. I also get to gift a $50 gift card code to give away and a 10% discount code to extend to my followers.

You'll notice my fancy new MSN badge. I will be blogging about the project(s) I’m working on with materials from Mood and posting to my Instagram feed and Facebook page. I’ll also be reviewing the VIP Insider Program.

So let’s dive in on the fun!

Your 10% discount code for Mood Fabrics is MSNSEWFUN.
