Sewing Expo in Baltimore

I attended the Sewing Expo in Balitmore this past May 2013.  I had a chance to take some great classes, embroidery, sewing notions and a couple of business orientated classes.  I really enjoyed the hands on embroidery class and I learned alot from the other classes.  The notion commotion class cause me to spend some money, lol.  There was a booth set up to help sew for Dress for Success - I got a chance to help sew for a woman who will be going back into the work force.  It was a chance to learn and meet some new and old friends.  I was so happy to meet " T" whom I have watched from afar (blogging) .... as Wendy Williams would say " my sewing freind in my head", she is a gem. I felt like I had met before.

Life happens....

It's good to be able to get back to blogging. I have been m.i.a for a good while, however I still enjoy viewing other blogs. I've been taking care of my mom for a few years now. Alzheimers Disease is a constant debilatating disease.  Even though I have some help but it doesn't take take away from the pain of watching my mom.  I find my faith in God to be my biggest source of strength.  Everyday He gives me the strength and courage to keep going.  Having family support is so important...although not constant it means the world.  I have been able to keep my Gift basket business going and manage to keep up with what's going on in the sewing world.  I don't plan on being away from my blog this long again. Until then ......
