Catch-Up

Sorry for the lack of posts. I just noticed it's been almost a month since I last put an entry in. Part of the problem has been computer... or lack thereof. I had to get a new computer. The old one was just having too many problems, and it was only three years old. It was also getting too slow - it would take me forever just to load things up. So I have been busy getting things transferred to the new one. What a pain that is.. and soooo time comsuming. Thank goodness for the internet, though. I think I am pretty computer savvy, but there are somethings I am just not sure of... so I googled them and sure enough I found the answer. What a great feeling that is to concur a problem. On top of that issue. I have been without internet for the past few days and talking with my ISP, which shall remain nameless, is enough to drive a person to drink. Anyway, since I last posted, Easter has come and went. Hope everyone had a nice one. Prior to that, I threw all caution to the wind and hired a cleaning lady. I had fought with myself for a long time as to whether or not I should get one. Is she going to clean the way I like it? I should really do it myself. What if I don't like what she does? Should I really let someone else do it? These are all things that were going on back in forth in my head before I finally just said I am going to do it! Boy, I'm glad I did! She came the Wednesday before Easter and cleaned the whole house in 4 hours! I was ex-tactic. I was jumping around like a kid with candy in her pocket. I got so much done that day, while my whole house was getting cleaned.. it was wonderful. Whoever said "oh you get more satisfaction out of cleaning it yourself, was DEAD wrong. I was completely satisfied, and then some! I was hosting Easter on Sunday. I can't tell you how the stress level went down having my home cleaned. I didn't have to worry that I had to clean the bathrooms, or clean the floors or wash the cupboards before everyone came..... cause it was all done. All I worried about was getting groceries, preparing the mean and I even got all my laundry done. My house was in order and I was ready to enjoy my company. I definitely urge you if you are thinking or struggling with this same dilemma, to go out and get yourself someone to clean your home. It will make you feel great... and don't you deserve it?!

I also got a lot of sewing done, working on some new designs and booking some spring shows.

Here are some of the things I have been working on.... Dragonfly dress/top (that is based on the pillowcase idea) and wide pants... more to come soon!

First time I made yo-yo's... why, oh why, did I wait so long???

New shirred dresses. Do you know how hard it is to photograph a busy little girl.....


Plus a whole lot more that I just haven't had a chance to photograph yet. Hopefully, next week.

It's Friday... again! I'm so glad. Have a super weekend.
