Hey there Stranger!

Yes, it has been a long long time since I have checked in.

I know it has been a long time,

because I have been getting some very sweet

emails from concerned bloggy friends,

as well as some phone calls 

and even packages of coffee coming to my door.

So......what I have I been up to?

Well, quite a bit actually.

I will be putting up some posts 

with some of my creations from the

last several months very soon.

But first some newsy stuff.......

The top photo was taken 

by my Hot Rockin' Hubby at Disneyland

last month. 

Yes, we moved India back to the Disney College Program

and managed to get a few days in the parks.

Ahnalin was really sleepy in that picture,

but it was one of the few that shows me.

 

It was FREEZING in Anaheim when we were there!

 I mean, actually in the 30s! 

We were not prepared for cold weather to be sure.

We got to ride "Radiator Springs Racers" in Cars Land

and it is awesome!

We moved India in to her apartment with

her new Disney College Program roommates.

And we are so happy for them all.

They are a great group of girls!

Here is a rather charming bit of irony......

India's boyfriend Nate, 

who played "Gaston" in Santa Rosa's production

of "Beauty And The Beast"

is now in Florida at the Disney College Program

in Disney World. 

They met while being in the show together.

India played a "Silly Girl" 

And they both applied to the DCP before

they started dating. 

And even though thousands

and thousands of students applied for the program,

they were both chosen..........

to OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE COUNTRY!

Oh don't be silly!

Everyone was very sad the day we loaded the van....

AND I DO MEAN LOADED(!!)

to drive India to Anaheim. 

But we did move her in and 

she is now working at Disneyland again,

taking her college classes

both through her college and 

also the Disney classes. 

We miss her. 

But life is changing for us too.

Don has accepted a job to a new company

in the San Francisco Bay Area,

and we will be moving next month!

And I have been sewing and writing

and drafting patterns, 

as well as looking for places to move

and schools for Ahnalin

 and starting to pack, 

and lots of other things.

But I promise I am back to blogging.

Thank you for all the kind emails

and messages and prayers. 

I appreciated them all!

Happy Sewing!
