I'm Baaaaack!

I'm back.  Is anyone out there?

Perhaps you noticed, quite unexpectedly and without any notice, I took a blogging break.

I suffered a severe case of crafter's block which was probably brought on for a few reasons...

My sweet Grace needed to have major dental work done.

I'm a worrier by nature so though my brave girl did great, the whole experience took its toll on me emotionally and mentally. 

Then, I noticed a painful lump under my arm.

Again, the worrier in me, had manifested this lump into what I was sure was going to be a death sentence.  Thankfully, after a few weeks of doctor's appointments and tests, I received a clean bill of health.

I was reminded that...

While on my blogging sabbatical, I eased back into crafting, when Grace's teacher asked me if I was 'creative'.  When I replied 'yes', I was then enlisted to help make costumes for the kindergarten play. 

I became a soccer mom...

to a little girl, whom I had only ever seen as a dancer.

And, that little girl turned 6! 

So, of course, I had to plan a birthday party to celebrate.

And in a week's time, Grace will have graduated from kindergarten and will be on her way to becoming a first grader...who will go to school all day long. 

Though I've been busy and distracted with real life worries the past month or two, I'm still wearing heels and I'm crafting again. 

Thank you for sticking around, for your support and for your sweet emails. 

I'm baaaack!
