2010-12-01T16:12:00.001-08:00

Sorry it's been a while since my last post but it's been crazy these last couple of months. We are moving from the Windward side of the island to the Leeward side, not sure if that's good or bad but we will be closer to family:)). And I love my new sewing room, pictures to come...
Moving is never ending but I'm done with my craft shows so now on to a new project. My cousin Teri is getting married soon and asked if I could do her four bridesmaids dress.
(ok she asked months ago but I'm a procrastinator and only started this week) So not only do I have a new project but came up with my New Year's Resolution.
STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!
I'll let you know how that goes.
