An interview with Machelle Salmeen from Chopped Tomatoes Design Kitchen
I’m really excited to interview Machelle Salmeen from the Chopped Tomatoes Design Kitchen today. I have actually been planning this interview since late June, but due to some bizarre email happenings, her responses just arrived this week. I was first exposed to Machelle through Sew Mama Sew‘s May Giveaway Day. You may remember that I [...]
