Merry Christmas

We are just back from a short cruise and I thought I'd let you see that we clean up pretty nicely. I wasn't feeling well on formal night, so you will have to miss seeing my handsome guy in his tuxedo until next time.

I thought I'd let you know that we went Christmas shopping Monday, and every single sales person wished us a Merry Christmas! Perhaps it takes the tragedy of a depression to bring folks around to the basics of goodness. There's hope yet!

Merry Christmas to you all!

34th Anniversary Cruise

My handsome husband and me on a cruise for our 34th anniversary.
Thank you for so many happy years!

Sailing the Carribean

I'm sorry to have been missing for such a long time. I have many projects in the works for your enjoyment and have been away collecting marvelous fabrics and trims.

Our latest adventure was an 8-day cruise on the Norwegian Pearl to the Caribbean. We managed to fit in a few Mardi Gras parades while in New Orleans before and after the cruise. The Rex Krewe parade (the original Mardi Gras krewe) was yesterday, but, unfortunately, work called us home. However, I did pick up some great ideas for Mardi Gras purses that will be available next year!

It's good to be home!
