Blimey - 2016 ALREADY?

... and I haven't written in my blog since 2014. Life and family were quite lively in my life over the past year and a half. I have just done a major update on my Fashions page, which was long-overdue. I also just put up two new sewing patterns for little Riley Kish. One is a halter top that is aimed at beginners, and the other is for jeans/pants/shorts, including a 15-page tutorial full of photos and instructions for making the jeans awesome. Check out my Patterns link for those. I have also re-arranged things in my living room so I have a sewing nook, which I am loving. I plan to get a lot more sewing done this year. It is the year of the fire-monkey according to the Chinese zodiac. I turn 60 this year, and our element only rolls around every 60 years, so I feel blessed to lived long enough to experience my big 'FIRE - Monkey' year that hasn't happened since the year I was born.  Woot.. move over Katniss Everdeen... I'm the girl on fire this year. :o)
