I'm Back!!! yes it's me! What better way to resurface than to come back the same way I started when I took the plunge on my first posting in 07 !
Yes, yes, I know people have started to question and speculate about my absence, so here's an abbreviated account of my whereabouts since the end of October:
"LIFE"
My daughter and I took a "trip of a lifetime" to India. It wasn't going to be a "work trip" but how could it not be? It's true when you see the ads for "Incredible India" and I've got a 1000 pictures to prove it! (look for this in future collections and postings)
My Dad passed away - what can I say? My Mom and Dad will always be my source of strength and inspiration. I was blessed to be their daughter.
Took some time to be with loved ones and welcome new family members throughout the holidays.
and now I'm back
recharged, reconnected, reinvigorated and ready to do a bit of re-inventing!
so....... to kick things off and since it's
VALENTINES DAY!
here's a gift from me to you: I'll pick three names to receive this bundle of fabrics from my stash here in the studio:

Good afternoon. I am so glad that you are back.

I am very excited to see the fabrics that were inspired from your trip to India. How amazing it is to make that trip and to be able to do it with your daughter is a memory to cherish for a lifetime.

Welcome back :D As they say 'life happens' ;-)
My daughter came over while I was reading your blog and fell in love with your bundle of fabrics, so I just had to comment for her. At nearly 4, she tends to love everything. This time, however, she was more specific and said she would love to have a skirt out of those fabrics. :)
Sounds like your trip was simply amazing! Hopefully, you're going to share a few of your favorite photos out of the 1000, right?
Such pretty fabrics!!
So glad you're back. Sounds like an amazing trip!
So glad your back. I look forward to your posts! Please put my name in the bag for the fabrics!
Would love to win those beautiful fabrics!!!!

Life is what happens when you're planning something else....it's good that you took time to enjoy your trip and to find peace after your dad's death with your family. Welcome back now!
I love the aqua and red together :)
I hope your "rest" was very restful for you. Sometimes it is just what we need :)
I started sewing when I was a girl and kept sewing until I was in college. I took a break for quite a few years, but I'M now back in the swing of things with all my kids in school and loving it. My shelves have very little fabric and I would love to add some red and aqua to my home. Glad you're back too.
