Well here it is, after Valentine's Day and I'm not REALLY back,

but I'm getting started!

Yesterday, for the first time since we left for Hawaii in early December, I finally turned on my sewing machine.  (I had used my serger in a "techniques" class, but it had not come out of it's carrying case.)

It's birthday time for our 5-yr old granddaughter, so it was time to get going.  However, as I like to keep things in chronological order (so I can think straight), I have to go WAY back and play catchup.  This involves figuring out where I left off--oh my goodnesss, I dug myself a hole!

(For the past week I've been playing catch-up on seven months of paperwork, so....  Quilting and sewing are more fun!  SO is travelling, and we have taken 3 major trips since mid-July.)

best get on with it, then!
