Quick Update

Hello Friends, How are you? I just wanted to pop in and tell you that I am going to take a short break from blogging. My daughter is graduating this May and has a fashion show THIS THURSDAY … all within a 2 week span.

I will try to take lots of photos and video and will be super excited to share that with you all. Her senior project is to have 6 garments completed by this Thursday. I am jumping on a plane in a few hours to go and help her with a few finishing touches. I am beyond excited that she asked me to come a few days early & help her out. My “kids” are fiercely independent and it’s a huge deal for her to ask me.

Yes this momma is glowing. So that’s it in a nut shell. Thanks for understanding and I am super excited to share.

Have a great week and big hugs, Kathy

I remember when my daughter was graduating from art school and had a gallery exhibition just before the actual graduation, it was so much fun but also somewhat stressful. However, being able to share in this huge milestone with her is just so important! Relax and enjoy yourselves and a BIG Congratulations to your daughter!
