Traveling and Downloading

Whew! Back from a crazy, intense week at dance camp, a whirlwind trip to Southern California, and then getting back into the swing of things at work.  It's been a busy couple of weeks but I'm finally starting to settle down into regular routines.  I haven't even had a chance to look at my craft area since I've been back, but I fully intend to spend some time in there this weekend.

Aside from my quilt that I've been (kinda) working on, I am ready for a fresh start on some new sewing projects.  I haven't had any pressing challenges to work on so I may actually be able to delve into stash patterns and fabrics that I haven't looked at in far too long.

Some highlights of my trip included:

- Spending a week with amazing dancers, their families, and incredibly talented musicians

Some of the dancers learning a routine for the finale performance

- Said week was also spent in gorgeous Vancouver Island. I may have indulged in a couple of Nanaimo bars, straight from the source.

- A quick trip to Disneyland. Always fun, especially when in good company.

I'm on the right. I swear my friend cheats.

- A taping of Conan O'Brien which led to then meeting my second husband, I mean, talk-show host.  Meeting really means getting his autograph and a photo, but I like to think that our relationship is deeper than that.

So. Happy.
