Catch-up! That's right, catch-up. Deadlines, promises, laundry, sleep. Catch-up.
I had to stay in Chicago an extra night due to airport delays last week. So, far better than pulling an all-nighter at the airport, I had a quiet meal at the Hyatt and a good night's sleep. Somehow, that extra day of travelling compressed last week's obligations into a mad flurry of busy-busy.
In Chicagoland, I met up with Hope Meng and Melissa Alvarado of Stitch Lounge, Nicole Smith of Cutting Edge Magazine, Simon Haskins (designer and son/business partner of Jenny Haskins'), Anna Maria Horner and several amazing folks from Bernina. We ate delicious food and chatted about one of my favorite subjects - sewing.
I found that I was somewhat enchanted by the cold weather. However, if I had to clean a windshield, fill a tank with gas or buy groceries in such weather, I'm sure it'd quickly lose its spell. Thank you for your foul-weather-warnings -- you should have seen how many layers I wore that first time out the door.
Oh ya, those photos up there... Seeing as tomorrow's Valentine's Day, here's a fun idea: Customized Sweethearts. All you need is a bit of clean sandpaper, a papertowel to brush off the dust and some edible markers. No, you don't eat the markers.
And, finally, what happens if I don't mention the studio photos? Will you forget that I promised them last Wednesday? Hopefully. They're still on Isaac's laptop and I don't have the nerve to ask him to do one more thing for me. I hereby change my promise from "Wednesday" to "soon."
And check out this dress!
