Last fall I made this mix for Liz .. and I’ve been listening to it ever since. Its pretty rare for me to keep listening to a mix for more then a month, so I decided that this should be shared with the world. Plus I just listened to it like 3 or 4 times in a row while sewing tonight I’m not exactly sure why I like it so much, there are a few songs from commercials and off of Gray’s Anatomy, and alot of girl singers, the music is pretty chill, I guess that makes good sewing music, not really distracting, easy to sing along with I hope you guys have a chance to take a listen.
