Florida!

So, a lot has happened in the past year and a half. We moved to Sarasota, Florida in June of 2011 after finding out my Uncle Howard had stage IV lung, liver, and bone cancer. It was time for me to be near my own family. We were blessed to be able to spend time with him before he passed away in November. He was a great man and we miss him daily.

My Aunt is starting to heal and starting to come to life again. It has been lovely sewing with her and watching her cooking and smiling. The three of us crawl into her bed on Sundays and watch movies and she and Sophie are in the midst of planning an epic adventure this Summer. They are going to Europe for a few weeks. The two of them are beyond excited 🙂

This month Aunt Linda and I have been working on sewing projects and needed to hit one of the local quilt stores. We ran into one of my new friends and she introduced us to some of the women who work there. I’m so excited because not only did I meet a new friend my age who loves quilting but I found this fabric:I LOVE IT!!! I’ve never made a quilt for my bed so I am making a simple quilt for myself. It’s nice to be sewing again 🙂

I’ll keep playing…

Cheers!
