It has been some time since I last checked in.  The 1912 project has ended so to speak..  I still have projects to complete and look forward to finding the time to get them done.  

Winter is in full swing and I was glad to get the house buttoned up right before the snow started flying.  Today is the 4th major snowstorm of the season.  I am fortunate enough to work for a company that values its' employees more than most - I was sent home when the road conditions started to deteriorate.  I celebrated the end of 2012 with the knowledge that my roof no longer leaks, I finally decided on room size rugs for the living and dining room and ordered them.  Most importantly Grandma is healthy and doing well.

Now on to 2013 - many large projects on the horizon.  The theatre company I work for is doing well and I continually receive new projects to complete.  For this summer I need to draft and sew 3 vintage football uniforms for their production Curly Lambeau era 1919-1949 leaves a wide range of dates to look at.  Right now I am sewing a Valentine pillow; if everything goes right it should look like a box of chocolates.  Then it is on to 2 men's suit coats - Elvis styled.  Perhaps after that I will have time to finish the Go Go dress design I have been working on.  I will post a few pictures when I finish the smaller projects.
